HAVANA, Cuba, August 26 (Julio Beltrán, ALAS / www.cubanet.org) –
Activists from the "Pay with the Same Money" campaign ate at a foreign
currency restaurant in the Arroyo Naranjo municipality and insisted on
paying their bill in Cuban pesos.

"With this action we're demanding from the government the right to use
the same currency with which workers are paid," said Georgina Noa, a
delegate of the Latin American Rural Women's Federation (FLAMUR), which
has been sponsoring the campaign.

When the bill in foreign currency was presented, they gave the cashier
Cuban pesos. FLAMUR members have used the same tactic several times in
the last few months.
