Cuba in Recovery,
Against Crime
HAVANA - Authorities in
post-hurricane Cuba will
continue acting
energetically in
accordance with the law,
and courts will apply
with the utmost severity
the current Penal Code
against those who commit
any misdeed under the
current special
circumstances.
An information broadcast
Monday by Granma daily
reads that amid the
present circumstances,
no rise in the price of
any basic product has
been predicted, be it
rationed, free, or
offered at hard currency
shops, despite the
generalized hike in
import costs.
Any attempt to break the
law or social
coexistence regulations
will have a rapid,
strong answer, as it has
been done in the first
proven cases of
stockpiling, robbery, or
illegal sale of food or
construction materials.
Millions of Cubans have
suffered the negative
effects of Gustav and
Ike, and the great
majority understands
time is needed to fully
recover from the huge
damage, it adds.
Providing food for the
population is one of the
country's top
priorities, along with
the recovery of housing,
electricity and other
essential services, the
note affirms.
No efforts have been
spare to cope with
agricultural damage, and
planned imports of
cereals, grains, and
other products are
guaranteed.
There has been a strong
answer for complaints
and concerns about the
stance of hoarders and
speculators dealing in
stolen products or
acquired excessively on
the retailer market, the
text indicates.
Those who have violated
the law alleging a
specific personal need
over collective interest
have been severely
punished, it explained. |
