CAMAGÜEY, July 1 (Normando Hernández, CPIC / www.cubanet.org) -
Officials of the "Cándido González" farmers’ coop,
in Camagüey province, stripped a 60-year-old farmer of his food quota
because he didn’t sign the recent Constitutional petition circulated by the
government.
Jorge de Armas, one of the founders of the coop, will no longer be entitled
to the foodstuffs that the coop sells to other participants.
A few days ago, the government announced that over 8 million Cubans had
voluntarily signed the petition to ammend the Cuban Constitution in order to
make the present Socialist system "untouchable."
Using food distribution as an instrument of coercion is not a novelty since
it was first introduced in the 1960s.
