HAVANA, April 6 (Jorge Cordero, AFPCP) - There was an increase in the number and duration of blackouts in Havana between March 31 and April 2.

"This business of cutting off power to save oil, all it accomplishes is to damage the few appliances that people have," complained a resident of El Cerro district.

"How long are they going to keep cutting off power? Where is the oil from Venezuela? Where is the increase in the Domestic Product recently announced?" asked one woman in Plaza municipality.

The high crime index and the frequent blackouts make the Cuban capital a dangerous city.
