HAVANA - Cuba says a paper shortage is forcing it to cut back on pages and circulation at several state-run newspapers including the Communist Party daily Granma, highlighting the severity of the country’s cash crunch as scarcity of basic goods increases.The Communist government said on Thursday that it was halving the edition size of some weeklies as well as Granma on certain days due to the lack of newsprint, which it imports.
Last year’s introduction of mobile internet and a state app called “Donde Hay” have to some extent multiplied the mayhem as they have made it easier for Cubans to find out in real time when new stock has arrived. While Cubans have long faced sporadic shortages of particular items due to external shocks to the state-run economy and often dysfunctional central planning, widespread scarcity of some basic goods has picked up over the past few months.“I’ve had this prescription for renal antibiotics on me for two months now, but you can’t find them anywhere,” said pensioner Georgie Pi.
The government has acknowledged that some shortages, like medicines, are due to a lack of imports of goods necessary for production.
The left will pop up any minute to blame the West for not propping up their Marxist dictatorship.
