MIAMI-DADE COUNTY CONTRACTS WITH CASTRO'S PARTNER
Miami-Dade Contracts With Castro's Partners
From
CapitolHillCubans.com
:
Former Brazilian President Lu
la
da Silva retuned to
Cuba
la
st week to talk business with his old friends (and dictators) Fidel and Raul Castro.
The biggest gift of Lu
la
's presidency for the Castro brothers was an $800 million
project
to expand the
Port
of
Mariel
.
The company responsible for this project is Brazilian engineering and construction firm,
Odebrecht
.
Odebrecht's Cuban partner in this venture is Zona Desarrollo Integral Mariel, S.A. (ZDIM) -- part of the Cuban military's business
conglomerate
overseen by Col. Luis Alberto Rodriguez Callejas, Raul Castro's son-in-
la
w.
(Odebrecht is also a major business partner of
Venezue
la
's Hugo Chavez).
Just another unscrupulous foreign company seeking to profit from the Cuban people's suffering.
But to add insult to injury -- Odebrecht is also one of
Miami-Dade
County
's biggest
contractors
.
Odebrecht's Miami-Dade projects have included the $2.85 billion North Terminal Development Program at
Miami
Airport
, the $280 million
Performing
Arts
Center
and most recently a $370 million metrorail
link
.
The
Miami-Dade
County
Commission, which has awarded Odebrecht these projects, has been under a great deal of scrutiny
la
tely -- and rightfully so.
We usually don't comment on local and state politics -- but how could Odebrecht continue to be awarded Miami-Dade contracts (to this day) despite it's partnership with the brutal Castro dictatorship (since at least 2009)?
Cuban-American (and Venezue
la
n-American) taxpayers in
Miami-Dade
County
should demand accountability for this affront.
