HAVANA - Communist-run Cuba said on Friday it would control more the sales of certain foodstuff and hygiene products, including adding some back to the ration card, due to shortages that it blamed partly on the tightening of the U.S. trade embargo.
Cubans have been flooding social media with photos of the queues they are in, under the hashtag #lacolachallenge to highlight the problem. Interior Commerce Minister Betsy Diaz said on Friday another problem was hoarding by Cubans worried about whether products would disappear and speculators aiming to re-sell goods on the black market.
Some Cubans, particularly those on low state salaries and pensions who cannot afford black market prices, expressed relief.Others said it highlighted the mismanagement of the economy.
