Car Purchase-sale at the Corner in Cuba

By Amauris Betancourt.

The 6th Congress of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC) would have been much more successful if, in its closing day, it had been announced immediately the car purchase-sale policy as well as the housing one, at least.  
I do not take away at all any political importance to the event, neither tone down the transcendental aspects discussed. I only remark the fact it has to do with two very hoped-for measures. They should have been checked earlier so that many illegalities would have been avoided.  

Their legal implementation urges despite the juridical difficulties it may run into. They should help dynamite other advertised changes, though caution proves to be prudent. Common sense will go its way putting it right  with time, as it has to be done with some other measures already implemented like the Supply and Demand Law applied to means of  transportation where the “who he offers rules”-policy reigns.
