Man who refused to sign constitutional petition loses job

HAVANA, July 20 (Alicia Zamora Labrada, Lux InfoPress) - Reynaldo Pérez recently refused to sign a constitutional petition to make Socialism permanent in Cuba that the government says over 8 million Cubans willingly signed.

As a result, he says, he has lost his job as a driver in the municipal funeral home in Güines, a town outside of Havana. The facility’s administrator, Belkis Alfonso, fired him under pressure from the political police.

Pérez had also given up membership in the Communist Party and in the Cuban Revolution Combatants Association, an honor that accrued from his participation in the war in Angola in the 70s.
