CDMX, Mexico.- the popular actor Cuban Mario Rodriguez wrote a message on their social networks pointing out the precariousness with which they live on the island this Christmas.
For the interpreter, on these dates there is no room for celebrations in a country that is in total decline.
The publication was triggered by Rodríguez’s visit to his neighborhood bodega where they are selling a liter of rum bottled in an oil bottle for the holidays. The actor, recognized for his recent characters in Los Hijos de Pandora and the Calendar series, wrote that Cuba was mourning the current situation.
“Facebook asks me: What are you thinking? Today I went to the winery. The end of the year rum has arrived. It’s embarrassing,” he began his post.
In Mario’s brief publication, up to the moment of writing this note, more than 70 Cuban men and women have also commented on the sadness with which they live this end of the year.
One of them is his colleague by profession Frank Artola. Artola wrote that he also had nothing to celebrate for obvious reasons.
At the beginning of November, his children Hillary and Frank were arrested for demonstrating against the blackouts in the Havana neighborhood of El Vedado. Since then they have been kept in prison.
Other Internet users took advantage of the space to congratulate the actor for his courage: “It is a shame to see everyone’s homeland like this and it is good that people like you, who have followers, denounce the disaster of a country; and also the pain of all Cubans, the same outside as inside” wrote Marlon San Juan.
Mario Rodríguez’s publication closes by explaining that it is possible to celebrate in Cuba.
“That is why I say that for us the country is in mourning. There is nothing to celebrate. Only our decline and our failure. How low we have fallen. What a mess!
Mario Rodríguez has a career of four decades in Cuban television, radio and theater mainly. In 2000 he was recognized with the Cartoon Award and in 2019 with the ACTUAR Award for the Work of Life.
