Cuban press "controlled", copied by Spanish press

El Pais newspaper from Madrid calls the "official" Cuban press "controlled" by the state.

The Spanish journalist lists a litany of illegal and informal economic activities currently found in Cuba. Such as stealing gas, illegally manufacturing plastic bowls, stealing iron from telephone poles, and others previously covered here like selling plastic bags and "cannibalizing" garbage bins.

All of which the so-called reporter learned about directly from critical articles in Cuban newspapers.

If the Cuban press really were as controlled as El Pais insinuates, this journalist might not have anything to write about.

The Miami press has also lifted stories
from the Cuban press.

AFP echoes Cuban press, too.
