CAMAGÜEY, October 9 (Mario Enrique Mayo, CPIC / CubaNet) - Local police
and inspectors in Camagüey sistematically persecute street peddlers such as
Felipe Hernández, 40, whom they fined 500 pesos for selling garlic and
bananas.
At the same time, Hernández's daughter-in-law was told she would be
fined 1,500 pesos if she was seen selling fruit.
Some here say that the government will not issue the appropriate licenses
and permits to street peddlers despite that they represent a benefit to
consumers, by selling food and other items not otherwise available.
Officials in charge of persecuting peddlers do so in a Girón bus with
license plate CSM-593.
