Pizza parlor reopened as beer parlor

HAVANA, March 28 (Ana Rosa Veitía, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - The pizza parlor in Güines, a town south of Havana, was turned into a beer parlor at the time the "Open Tribune" was held in the town by the government.

The week before the Open Tribune, the town saw a large expenditure of resources, political propaganda, and police repression, and the pizza parlor reopened as a "recreation center", in which beer is sold from kegs day and night.

Residents of Güines have to buy their pizza from private producers, who make a good product in spite of not having access to the government's resources, but at prices that are out of reach for the common citizen.

"The services to the population are inefficient. The authorities have not been able to solve the problems," said resident Carmen Delgado.

According to her, during the first quarter of this year, the increase in the consumption of alcoholic beverages and the decrease in the food supply has become evident.
