Communist Party officials "interview" independent
journalist
HAVANA, Cuba - June 9 (Luis Cino / www.cubanet.org)
- Communist Party officials, who in Cuba
are called "community factors"
(don't ask) called in independent journalist
Juan González to scold him for an
article he wrote recently about Cuban President
Castro's reputed wealth.
During the interview June 7 at the offices
of the Ministry of Interior Commerce, officials
expressed their dissatisfaction with the
article, "Personal Wealth vs. Discretionary
Wealth," that they called "counterrevolutionary."
Officials told González that the
article had been written "with the
worst of intentions" and that it discredited
the public image of Fidel Castro.
When González tried to explain his
position, officials cut him short, saying
"they would not have a discussion with
a convinced counterrevolutionary."
It never became clear to González
what, if any, concrete measures officials
contemplated taking against him.
