Former Cuban communist leaders demand more democracy on the island

Former Cuban communist leaders demand more democracy on the island Havana  - Former leaders of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC) have posted a document on the Internet to demand "participative and democratic" socialism on the island, warning that the current style of socialism generates unpredictable "frustration."

"Mostly, Cubans are frustrated, alienated and hopeless, and the new generations, demotivated, do not feel the same commitment as earlier ones to this 'poor and without perspective socialism' that is so far away from expectations," the document says.

Harley Davidson motorbikes turn revolutionary in Cuba

Havana - The characteristic roar of engines heralds the arrival of the coveted Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Slowly, pairs of proud riders parade down Havana's Malecon outside the US Interests Section and the statue of Cuban independence hero, Jose Marti, who points an accusing finger at the representatives of the empire.

Harley Davidson may be one of the symbols of the "American way of life" that Cuba so despises, but passion for these vehicles knows neither boundaries nor ideologies and is so deeply entrenched in the hearts of Cubans that the stir caused is considered compatible with being a good "revolutionary."
