Batista died in Guadalmina a place in the city of Marbella in Spain. In the article it says 'Guadalamina' instead of 'Guadalmina' which is the correct way to write it. I'm 100% sure because I live in Guadalmina in the city of Marbella and it is well known that the correct way of writing it is 'Guadalmina' and not 'Guadalamina'.

FYI, the link to Carlos Manuel de Céspedes points to an article about the father of the person that this article refers to.

He died of a heart attack on August 6, 1973 at Guadalmina, near Marbella, Spain,[29] two days before a team of assassins from Castro's Cuba could carry out a plan to kill him.[9]

...right. Someone's fibbing here. This claim doesn't even make sense.

This support was mainly due to Batista's labor laws and his support for labor unions, unions which the communist movement had infiltrated.

Infiltrated? Communist members in labor unions have been around since the 1920s (IWW). They did not "infiltrate" the unions. They were already union members. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.230.61.23 (talk) 13:36, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph about the 1946 Mob Summit seems out of place: according to the rest of the article, Batista wasn't in power and wasn't even in the country when it happened. Any objections to axing it (or moving it to a more germane article)? Francis Lima (talk) 23:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the following text from the article:

"Under Batista's rule a new constitution was drafted. It called for government intervention in the economy and provided a social safety net."

The statement was under the section concerning his first term as president. Batista became president on Oct 10, 1940. The 1940 Constitution was drafted before that and was adopted in July of 1940. He was elected under that constitution. It was drafted and adopted before his election.
