AREQUIPA, Peru – The official duo Good faithspokesperson for the dictatorship Cubanreacted on social networks to his “arrival in Miami”, a fact with which he joked CubaNet this Saturday for April Fool’s Day.
Through from FacebookIsrael Rojas and Yoel Martínez, founders and main members of the group, disapproved of this newspaper’s initiative and, in the process, vindicated their support for the Castro regime’s discourse.
“Obviously this medium is so down that it needed to make this ‘little joke’ for ‘April Fool’s Day’, but not before saying that we support what they do need to be able to continue existing. The bird is known by what it defecates,” the duo points out.
In the publication, Castro’s cultural agents said they felt “respect” for Cuban emigrants. This, contradictorily, using the propaganda rhetoric of the Communist Party.
“But we continue in Cuba suffering the misfortunes of incompetence, bureaucracy, negligence, shortcomings in Cuba, plus the criminal economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States Government,” they emphasized.
In the comments section of the publication, users expressed their support or discontent towards Rojas and Martínez.
“Good Faith doesn’t need likes. The good ones only need to make art,” wrote a follower of the artists under the Francisco Carvajal profile.
“Very well, that’s how you talk. A revolutionary greeting from the Dominican Republic. “Until victory always!” said another Castro sympathizer, Abel Tejada Núñez, brandishing an infamous slogan of the dictatorship.
“Don’t worry, nobody wants you here. Those of us from here didn’t find the little joke funny either,” highlighted Ana Isabel Ruiz López, another user.
“Bureaucracy, negligence and incompetence are what really affect the people, the story of the blockade only serves to cover up everything mentioned above, but you are not ready for that conversation,” cried Internet user José Antonio Gracias.
“Every day you change your way of thinking. Today they respect the ’emigrants’, the other days we were ‘confused’, I mean… that’s what they called us, right? Question: who are the incompetents that you suffer from? The communist and genocidal government that you defend?” says the profile of Liu Navarro, a Cuban in Tampa.
The rejection of exile
Last year, one of the artist duo’s tours in Spain It was marked by protests, complaints and the arrest of an activist.
The Cuban doctor Lucio Enríquez Nodarse reported in May 2023 that he had been beaten by “Castro-fascist henchmen” during a concert offered by the group in Madrid.
The doctor Galileo Galilei entered the room and, after the group finished one of its numbers, began shouting anti-Castro slogans.
The band, known for its support of the island’s regime, had to face the cancellation of four of its concerts in Spain. According to Israel Rojasleader of Buena Fe, the Cuban exiles who protested and “boycotted” his concerts in Spain had as their objective “to Miamiize any place where Cuban culture wants to flourish, and that must be avoided at all costs.”
The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) issued an official statement describing the protests against Buena Fe and the cancellations of its concerts as “fascist acts.”
