You guys will have to forgive me, but I’m translating from Spanish, I wanted to include a link to a Google translated page but somehow it’s not working, however, the original link is here, for those of you that can read in Spanish.

‘Business is Business’ – El Pais: Commercial relationships between two of the most enduring governments in the world, the State of Lower Saxony in Germany and the Cuban Dictatorship, has increased in the last few years.

What stands out lately in the commerce with Lower Saxony is the import of some emblematic products from the German Industry. German press has informed about the acquisition of 183 BMW cars for Cuban ambassadors. The Embassy in Berlin has stated the following: ‘These are vehicles for embassies’. BMW hopes to sell them 60 more cars. The embassy refused to confirm that Raul Castro already uses a quite modern BMW, compared with the old Mercedes used by his brother Fidel.

What, no Ladas? Damn.

Those spokespersons from Lower Saxony companies consulted by the newspaper that trade with Cubans, all fled like demons escaping from holy water to the question about fearing sanctions from the U.S. as a consequence of the Helms-Burton Law, which forbids commerce with the Cuban dictatorship.

Something that all the Bavarian exporters agree with is that Cuba is a trustworthy commercial partner and pays on time.

I bet they have loads of cash from using its citizens as slave labour in Latin American countries and all the Oil given by the lovely Kuzco. Isn’t that peachy. :(
