Cuban retirees protest delays in pension
payments
HAVANA, Cuba, September 13 (Víctor
Manuel Domínguez, Lux Info Press
/ www.cubanet.org) - Every morning towards
the end of the month and the beginning of
the next dozens of pensioners crowd the
Post Office at the corner of Belascoaín
and Carlos III Streets, trying to collect
their pensions while postal authorities
tell them they have no funds to disburse
the required amounts.
"All of us are sick and tired of seeing
our pensions delayed by the lack of ready
cash at the Post Office," said Lourdes
Martínez, one of the pensioners.
Martínez said they had all appealed
to the Post Office, as well as to local
government officials, in vain.
Pensioners said they are told to wait until
someone comes in to send a money order so
the office can raise ready cash.
