P.M. affair

Lunes de Revolución was loosely organized by Carlos Franqui, Virgilio Piñera, Pablo Armando Fernández, Jose Antonio Baragaño, Antón Arrufat, Oscar Hurtado, and Humberto Arenal.

[8] Alfredo Guevara, who was head of the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos, refused to give a license to the film which approved it for public screening, even though it had been aired on television.

The debates that followed caused the intervention of Fidel Castro, who met with the contesting writers and delivered his famed "Words to the Intellectuals" speech.

[11] Castro's speech "Words to the Intellectuals" was the first instance of any sort of boundaries established for artistic expression, after the Cuban Revolution.

[12] Soon after Castro's proclamation, the government shut down Lunes de Revolución, and a few months later established the National Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba.
