One play from the Castro playbook was to utilize refugee and exile populations to cover infiltration. These infiltrators are taught to lead the opposition and appear to be very anti-communist, and well spoken/educated. From Cuba, many were children at the time of their "exile", but were indoctrinated and trained very thoroughly. They typically appear to be extremely anti-communist. You can identify them by how well their families are doing back in Cuba -- if you can dig that info up by talking to refugees who left more recently. Even obedient peasants are kicked around like dogs in a communist nation, so if you see the family of a "traitor" has military officers, politicians, managers etc within their family back home, then very likely the "exile" has been a very good infiltrator.

For a refugee girl to link up with a politician in a nation that has been so thoroughly infiltrated by communism is too convenient and specific. Most refugees marry within their own class and of their own ethnicity. Preservation instincts (culture, ethnicity) are very strong with refugees.

Venezuela is the successor to Castro. Cuba is not the head of that regime anymore, operationally, Venezuela was a more beneficial successor.
