Wow. Cuban government to punish a company for doing something they don’t like? Sounds like Obama’s America.
The Cuban government has said it will take disciplinary action against a state pharmaceutical company that created perfumes named Ernesto Che Guevara and Hugo Chavez.
In a statement in the official Granma newspaper, the government described the project as “a serious error”.
“The symbols of the Revolution are and will always be sacred,” it read.
You can’t smell like Che or Hugo, but you can get drunk on Fidel:
TECNOAZUCAR and the Spanish company ABANESCU S.L. based in La Jonquera, Cataluña sell a Cuban rum with the image of Fidel on the bottle.
