Cuban Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero, described the Major General as a great businessman, economist, and revolutionary; “faithful to Fidel and Raul, my brother.” My support goes out to the whole family, he said.
General Luis Alberto, executive president of the Business Administration Group of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Party and deputy to the National Assembly of People’s Power, has a brilliant record of service to the Homeland and the Cuban Revolution, newspaper Granma reported.
In 2020, then-U.S. President Trump put Lopez-Calleja on a U.S. blacklist that prohibited U.S. people or companies from dealing with him.
