FROM
CUBA
Equal?
Not even dead
HAVANA, September 22 (www.cubanet.org) - Just
past noon August 16, the jeep arrived at the polyclinic
of the former Orozco sugar mill in Pinar del Río
province, carrying the first secretary of the
local Communist Party apparently suffering from
a heart attack.
The party's first secretary from Bahía
Honda arrived almost immediately, according to
witnesses. And then some more officials; a resident
by the name of Mario said in a few minutes there
were 12 jeeps and Soviet-made Ladas at the polyclinic.
The doctor was not able to revive the patient,
who died. The ambulance from Bahía Honda
administrators called for arrived promptly, to
the amazement of onlookers.
When it came time to tranport the body in the
stretcher, the party first secretary from Bahía
Honda said: "We are not showing the comrade
any respect by putting him on that dilapidated
stretcher."
