Luis Alberto García’s statements come a few hours after the Cuban regime announced a new “Tribune in solidarity with Venezuela.”
MIAMI.- The Cuban actor Luis Alberto García He questioned on his social networks the priorities of the island’s government, which in the midst of the health, energy and economic crisis is calling for political events and parades in support of allied regimes.
In a publication on your Facebook profilethe interpreter expressed his disagreement with the holding of a “Tribune in solidarity with Venezuela”, organized by the Cuban regime to condemn the US sanctions against Nicolás Maduro, it seemed absurd to him in the face of the harsh national reality.
“I sincerely do not believe that this national polycrisis is the appropriate framework to continue inventing parades and stands. The country is falling apart. Don’t those who breathe in that ‘other’ dimension that they inhabit know about it? Do they know it and yet they pass with tokens? Do they want to give a town bathroom to those who visit us right now?” wrote García, who questioned the political use of these mobilizations.
The actor also recalled the public events of his childhood, when—as he recalled—attendance was not marked by coercion or fear. “I agreed with the events of my childhood, in which the attendees made an appearance without being pressured. All that that came ‘after the fact’ of ‘he who does not jump is a Yankee’ or ‘he who does not participate must bear the consequences’ is, to say the least, pathetic,” he added.
Luis Alberto García’s statements come a few hours after the Cuban regime announced the political act that was finally held at 7:30 am this morning in Havana, in front of the statue of Simón Bolívar.
In an ironic tone, the renowned actor proposed a more coherent use of these mobilization efforts: “It would be more patriotic, empathetic and consistent to dedicate the platform, the march or the conga to the sick and deceased by arboviruses in the provinces of Matanzas. I say.” And he closed his reflection with a question that resonated among users: “Gaza and Caracas should not come before Matanzas and Cárdenas. Right?”
García’s statements coincided with independent media reports and citizen testimonies that describe the critical health situation in several provinces in western Cuba, especially in Matanzas, where arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya and oropouche circulate. Overcrowded hospitals, shortages of medicines, lack of fumigation and accumulation of garbage aggravate the situation, while health authorities only recognize three deaths from these causes.
The actor’s publication generated a wave of support on social networks, with numerous messages sharing their indignation at the contrast between the spending of resources on political events and the lack of attention to the internal crisis. Among them, the popular comedian Luis Silva ironically said: “The screwed thing is not that they invent the marches. The problem is that people go.”
