Communist Party officials "interview" independent journalist

HAVANA, Cuba - June 9 (Luis Cino / www.cubanet.org) - Communist Party officials, who in Cuba are called "community factors" (don't ask) called in independent journalist Juan González to scold him for an article he wrote recently about Cuban President Castro's reputed wealth.

During the interview June 7 at the offices of the Ministry of Interior Commerce, officials expressed their dissatisfaction with the article, "Personal Wealth vs. Discretionary Wealth," that they called "counterrevolutionary."

Officials told González that the article had been written "with the worst of intentions" and that it discredited the public image of Fidel Castro.

When González tried to explain his position, officials cut him short, saying "they would not have a discussion with a convinced counterrevolutionary."

It never became clear to González what, if any, concrete measures officials contemplated taking against him.
