CUBA TODAY

 

National Liberal Club

14th June, 2004

 

Dr Zelmys Rodriguez, First Secretary at the Cuban Embassy, put a brave face on the defence of Cuban Communism.  Baroness Lindsey Northover seemed largely persuaded by her brief sojourn there, travelling with a group of doctors.  The audience, softened up with liberal quantities of mojitos, still managed to pose some stiff questions at the First Secretary.  LIBG President-elect Tim Garden asked what preparations the Cuban Government and people are making for a post-Castro Cuba.  The answer was not revealing!
