HAVANA (Reuters) -Cuban pensioners on Thursday began receiving a new monthly pension payment nearly double the previous one, but many said the extra would be swallowed by high inflation and a scarcity of basic goods in the midst of a prolonged crisis.
Cuban President and leader of the Communist Party Miguel Diaz-Canel told the National Assembly in December that the country must "start improving the situation of retirees, who have given their lives to the Revolution."
