HAVANA, October 22 (Ernesto Roque, Grupo Decoro / CubaNet) Two youths were
expelled from the Basic Unit for Cooperative Production No. 13 in López
Peña, Pinar del Río province, after having been declared "untrustworthy,"
in spite of their fellow workers' protests.
Some of the Unit's workers said that declaring the two, Libaldo Águila
and Lorenzo Monteriel, untrustworthy was based on the fact they are children of
political prisoners.
When the assembled workers protested the measure, officials Pablo Pino Solís
and Rodolfo Malagón said the decision had been taken in the presence of
representatives of the Communist Party of Cuba.
"That was a demonstration that workers don't decide anything at these
production meetings," said one worker.
The town of López Peña is one of several so-called "captive
towns" because they are populated by people who were relocated by the
government from the mountainous region of central Cuba during the 60s on the
argument that they were aiding guerrillas who were fighting against Castro's
government in the area.
