HAVANA, February 15 (José Antonio Fornaris, Cuba-Verdad /
www.cubanet.org) - Pensioners in Old Havana complain of irregularities in
getting their money every month.
Blanca Ramos, 79, said that she should have received her money for January
on February 6, but after five visits to the post office that's supposed to
handle the transaction, she still doesn't have her money.
"They always tell me there is no money to pay me," she said. Ramos
gets 76 pesos, or just under three dollars a month, on a widow's pension.
"If my children didn't help me, I don't know what I would do. What can
one do with so little money?"
