Foreign broadcasts forbidden to Matanzas residents

HAVANA, January 16 (Fara Armenteros, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) Residents of the small settlement called Batey San Rafael in Matanzas province are irked with a local government and Communist Party official who has forbidden them from listening to foreign radio broadcasts while he himself brags about money and clothes he receives from abroad.

Residents say the official, Arsenio González, regularly receives remittances of money and shipments of clothes from his sister-in-law who lives in Miami. Recently González warned people in the settlement, located about three miles from the town of Bolondrón, that listening to foreign broadcasts, especially Radio Martí, originating in the United States, is forbidden.
