Enrique de la Osa

Enrique de la Osa (Delahoza) y Perdomo was a Cuban Communist revolutionary activist, journalist, editor, and newsmagazine publisher.

Enrique created the Cuban branch of the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA), along with the other members of Atuei, because they disagreed with the local Communist Party about Marxism.

[5] Enrique said that the name Atuei "indicated the political position of our group, which was one of rebellion, of struggle against imperialism, and against the fatal dictatorship of Gerardo Machado.

Enrique attempted to print a sixth edition of Atuei, but he was arrested and prosecuted for writing an article with a negative view of Gerardo Machado.

In 1943, Quevedo oversaw Enrique and Carlos Lechuga in creating a special section of Bohemia called En Cuba, to draft specifically anti-Batista articles.

[8][9] En Cuba later critiqued the government administrations of Ramón Grau and Carlos Prío Socarrás after Batista's first tenure as president.

[6] In 1960, after the success of the Cuban Revolution, and the employment of Communist systems in Cuba, Fidel Castro placed him in charge of Bohemia, after forcing Miguel Ángel Quevedo into exile.

According to Cubaen Centro:"...the accusations against Batista created the false perception that Quevedo was a supporter of Castro, but in reality he was advocating a peaceful and electoral solution to the Cuban problem.

And since Castro knew perfectly well that the magazine was very well received among Cubans, 'he maneuvered against Quevedo to impose Enrique Delahoza as director and end Bohemia 's independence.
