GÜINES, December 11 (José Izquierdo, Grupo Decoro /
www.cubanet.org) - Popular Power (local government) and Communist Party
officials in Güines, a small city south of Havana, have so far refused to
close a polluting ice-making plant, in contravention of an order from the
Ministry of Internal Commerce.
The ice plant, sited by the Mayabeque river, is over 50 years old and
continually discharges ammonia into the atmosphere. In August, a team of
refrigeration specialists from the Ministry ordered its permanent closure due to
the deterioration of the refrigerant pipes in the plant.
