As President, Batista banned all other political parties and revoked most political liberties, including the right to strike. He primarily catered to the wealthiest landowners in Cuba, creating a gap in the economy that greatly affected the poorer levels of the Cuban population. He also resorted to torture and mass murder to quell any discontent with his rule. | As President, Batista banned all other political parties and revoked most political liberties, including the right to strike.
