Havana/In the island inflation does not even give truce to the most basic needs. The price to use the public bath in the busy Park of the Valley, in Centro Habana, rose from 10 to 20 pesos. According to one of the local workers, the National Office of Tax Administration increased the payment of taxes and, in addition, they were removed the few supplies they received from the State. Now they must buy everything on their own.
What was previously a rapid relief is almost a luxury and the new rate was not accompanied by improvements.
The measure is already beginning to be noticed in the urban landscape. “Imagine that there are already old men who, when they tell them 10 pesos, go un urged and end behind a bush. I have seen that with my own eyes,” said a usual user of the park. The price climb not only squeezes the pockets, but also the bladder.
