CUBANET
HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. 5 (Ángel Luis Bernabé, Isla Press / www.cubanet.org)
– The City of Havana provincial court has punished 85 persons so far
this year for illegally selling goods and food on the street.
Antonio Torres of the public prosecutor's office said those punished
were guilty of anti-social acts because they were selling prime need
goods. He said the measures taken against them will put a brake on
hoarding and thievery.
Housewife Mercedes Campos said reality was different and that the
sellers were offering goods and foodstuffs unavailable at government
stores and markets. "They're the ones who are at risk and loss, but the
real thieves are those in the government," she said. "They're the ones
who are stealing the goods for sale on the black market."
