Police confiscate street vendors' merchandise
SANTA CLARA, Cuba - April 25 (Rafael Castillo,
Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- Police carried out a raid in the environs
of the Santa Clara bus terminal April 22,
confiscating merchandise from several vendors,
mostly elderly, who work in the area.
The confiscated wares were mostly household
items.
"They have no respect for anything,"
said one vendor referring to the police.
"They want us to starve. They took
from me six gaskets for pressure cookers,
several spools of thread and some parts
for coffee makers."
The vendors are usually retirees trying
to supplement their meager pensions.
