PINAR DEL RÍO, August 27 (Víctor Rolando Arroyo, UPECI)
Anti-government slogans are beginning to appear again in several towns of Pinar
del Río province.
Someone painted "Down with Fidel" on the walls of the Manuel Lazo
hospital, in the town of the same name, between August 19 and 20.
The next morning, the walls of the beauty salon in Las Martinas sported "Down
with Fidel" and "Stop electrical blackouts."
Dissident Horacio Piña Borrego said the painted slogans emerge as a
form of expression and protest. "The crisis becomes more acute and some
find in the slogans the best way to express demands that there is no legal way
to express," said Piña.
Some residents found it curious that this time around, State Security agents
did not come running when the slogans appeared. Instead, agents of the Technical
Investigations Department were assigned clean-up duties. As usual, the official
press made no mention of the incidents.
