Anti-government slogan on cemetery wall
SANTA CLARA, July 27 (Belkis Rodríguez
Bravo / Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- An unknown but imaginative wag in Santa
Clara exhorted visiting Cuban president
Fidel Castro to make himself at home. Problem
is, he painted his message on the front
wall of the local cemetery.
The graffiti was discovered in the early
morning of July 26, when Castro was expected
in Santa Clara for anniversary ceremonies
of his revolution.
The sign, written in red in block letters,
read: "Welcome, Fidel. Make this your
home." The slogan has been quite common
in Cuban homes since the inception of Castro's
rule.
Police and security operatives went to
work quickly to eradicate the graffiti as
soon as it was discovered, but not before
townspeople flocked to the site to take
a look. One anonymous voice in the crowd
of onlookers said even the cemetery would
not want him for all the pain and suffering
he has caused Cubans.
