3. 3. An exception is Charles D. Ameringer, who suggests that Arbenz's overthrow had a minimal effect upon the exiled democratic Left of the circum-Caribbean region. "Evidence of growing Communist influence" in Arbenz's regime, he asserts, created dilemmas for groups such as the Autenticos party of Cuba, Accion Democratica of Venezuela, and the Dominican [Republic] Revolutionary party, as well as leaders like Romulo Betancourt. While they sympathized with Guatemala, they "shunned" groups that aggressively criticized the United States for fear that they would alienate U.S. liberal and democratic groups whose support they needed.
