Residents in Cuba grumble as police arrest
a fish peddler
PLACETAS, Cuba, September 1 (María
Elena Alpízar Ariosa, Grupo Decoro
/ www.cubanet.org) - Police arrested a young
man who was selling tilapia fillets out
of his bicycle in Placetas Sunday morning
and local residents loudly protested the
lost possibility of buying the fish.
The policeman making the arrest saw the
man at an intersection and ordered him to
walk to the police station while he followed
in his car.
Residents watching the parade protested
loudly. One woman brought her hands to her
head and said: "Now, what am I going
to feed my children and my mother? We are
the ones that get stuck, because they (meaning
the government) don't sell fish through
the rationing system."
A young woman said: "Now they'll confiscate
the tilapia and keep it for themselves."
One man said: "Why don't the police
find out where the government inspector
on the next block gets the money to repair
and furnish his house?"
