Foreign publications added banned list
HAVANA, February 21 (Leonel Pérez
Belette / www.cubanet.org) - The government
has added to its list of banned publications
the daily newspaper El País of Madrid
and the Spanish-language edition of Popular
Mechanic, according to an employee of WSP,
the company that distributes foreign publications
in Cuba.
The employee said that the government took
the decision because the publications were
considered to have an "ideological"
content. "From now on," he said,
"these publications will only be available
in Cuba by subscription."
Such subscriptions are limited to foreign
residents and diplomats.
Previously, El País and Popular
Mechanic could be purchased at hard-currency
stores. Among other publications no longer
available were Spanish publications Hola!
and Muy Interesante.
