Catcalls and whistles forced Fujimori to cut short his speech inaugurating a school President Fujimori said yesterday that there will not be no immediate raise in salaries for teachers or any other state employees. A few moments earlier a group of teachers had loudly demanded that salaries be raised thus preventing Fujimori from carrying on with the ceremony of the Republic of Cuba school in the popular district of Comas. After hastily concluding his speech because of the disturbances the teachers had created, Fujimori took his leave from the Ambassadors of Cuba, Benito Perez Fernandez, and Venezuela, Rodrigo Ancaya, who had been accompaniting him in his tour, and departed immediately in the direction of another school. The teachers of the school interrupted Fujimori's alocution with deafening catcalls and whistles loudly demanding a raise in their salaries. Once well away in another school and speaking with the media Fujimori recognised that there is no doubt that the salaries of state employees are too low. He said that the government knows this, but it cannot be irresponsible and just print money because that would be inflacionary........ blah, blah, blah.......etc., etc.
