The official spokesperson Humberto Lopez published photos of the Cuban playwright's departure from Cuba Yunior García Aguilera, leader of the Archipiélago group and promoter of the Civic March for Change on November 15, who arrived in Spain this Wednesday.
López shared several images of García walking in terminal 3 of the José Martí Airport in Havana, wearing a mask and dragging a suitcase.
"Yunior is not here... Yunior is gone... Yunior is escaping with his visa... lalalala," the journalist wrote in a mocking tone, parodying the popular song "Laura se fue."
"At the José Martí International Airport there will be a march... No, no, I'm leaving, I'm leaving..." López wrote in another post.
The spokesperson for the Cuban dictatorship also published screenshots of the news that appeared in various media, which revealed the arrival in Madrid of García and his wife, producer Dayana Prieto.
"Homeland and Visa! 17N," he commented.
In the images released, García appears alone, without his partner.
Several Internet users have criticized López's work as a defender of the regime in publications.
"And where did you get these photos? Of course, State Security sent them to you, which forced him to leave," questioned Javier Díaz, a journalist from Univision 23.
"Humbertico, what the hell kind of work do you do, I know you do it to have a better life and give your family a better future, but at what price. Clearly Yunior was expelled from the country, and they will do the same with the next ones who appear with ideas like his. Now they will launch a discrediting campaign about him and that he left just because," said a doctor.
"How sad your job is, Humberto! What a sad role you have had to play," said a Havana resident.
"Let him continue earning points now, later he will have nowhere to go," predicted a Cuban resident in Miami.
"You should feel shame that a people has to emigrate due to a dictatorial government that does not admit another ideology, there are already more than three million Cubans outside their homeland, and you communists are proud of this. What kind of compatriots, you are a shame of beings," lamented another émigré.
A Cuban resident in Berlin commented that the government could have done something to Yunior García the same as the artist Hamlet Lavastida, about a month ago.
"Does the most wanted guy in Cuba leave his house without anyone seeing him, arrive at the Spanish embassy (which is not issuing tourist visas), ask for a visa, they give it to him in less than 24 hours and leave? You are totally stupid. He is not the first one they put at the airport and deport him," he stressed.
Another émigré in Barcelona stated that the playwright surely left his country forced by the State.
"But he is not the problem. The problem is the injustice of the Cuban government and the embargo. Be careful, when they remove the embargo, which I very much want them to remove, the government will have even more problems. Without freedom and free expression Cuba will continue to be a slavery. Change is the universal constant and the new Cuban revolution began on July 11," he stressed.
Europa Press, which broke the news of García's arrival in Madrid, noted that "government sources" informed him that the activist applied to Spain for a tourist visa, after which he took a commercial flight.
Posteriorly WHICH reported that there was no agreement between Havana and Madrid to facilitate the activist's departure from the national territory. A representative of the Cuban government told the agency that the island's authorities "have nothing to do" with his departure and considered that he would have processed the tourist visa on his own.
On November 2, the Spanish Consulate in Havana announced that restrictions on non-essential travel from third countries (including Cuba) to the European Union and the Schengen area would be maintained until November 30 and that visas would not be processed until then. short stay, tourist or business.
After the news spread, the group Archipelago, which on Tuesday reported that García and his wife were missing, published a statement in which he expressed that he was not aware of his departure from the country.
"We have known through Europa Press about the arrival to Spain of Yunior García and his wife Dayana Prieto. The Archipelago Platform will offer a statement as soon as it has some first-hand information," he announced.
