The Cuban actorErdwin Fernandez Collado He once again referred to the crisis in his country, and lamented how many good and talented people live deprived of their minimum rights because of the government.

Erdwin remembered when he lived in Cuba and was happy for very "small and sad" things, like when water "entered" the house or someone sold him chicken.

"I do not judge, but I am convinced that they deserve much, much more. It is no longer about politics, nor do I tell anyone 'do this or that'. I do not tell them to do what I did not do or what I did, because I was in their place, and even if you are rebellious, fear will always keep you awake...", he said in hisFacebook.

"It's about seeing how much talent, honest and hardworking people suffer, how many people in my beautiful Cuba are deprived of what rightfully belongs to them. Seeing those who really want to study and work, live from their work, CREATE, forced to silence and conformism by the 'troops' of protesters on social networks and in the streets," he added.

The actor stressed that in Cuba there are people with a very low educational level, who are not interested in progressing, and who accept the justification of the supposed blockade to "continue vegetating and forcing you to vegetate."

He also admitted that no system is perfect and that everywhere there are poor people, people living on the streets and injustice, but he pointed out that in other places people have the possibility, if they want to, to live better and fight for their dreams. .

"What you will not see is the infamous people, the poorly educated, the offensive, the ones who do not want to progress, forcing you to live like them; forcing you to go down, to submit you to conform. To you, who are brilliant; to you, who have children that you want to guide; to you, who have big dreams. I know how difficult it is, and that is partly why I know that some will come out and say: 'we are happy like this', 'leave us.' live', 'if you no longer live in Cuba, why do you get involved'...", he explained.

Erdwin, who lives in Miami, stressed that he is hurt by that part of Cuba that suffers, that talent that wants to shine and is prevented from doing so by people lacking dreams and aspirations.

"That's what it's all about, common sense, and if the 'dark and not exactly swallows' want to call it politics, then let it be politics. It's your life, make it unique and special," he concluded.

In June, the actor showed his support for the filmmakers and professionals close to cinema who protested in Cuba over what happened to the documentary "La Habana de Fito", by director Juan Pin Vilar, whose exhibition was prohibited by the Ministry of Culture.

"Cinema has to be free, it's true," said Erdwin, who sent his admiration and respect to Juan Pin Vilar - whom he has known since they were both children -, to the Cuban filmmakers and to the entire public, who also "has to be free to choose and express themselves."

In May, the actorreferred to the serious shortage of food in Cuba and condemned the government's management, which keeps its people in a situation of scarcity, as if they were in a war.

"Now, in addition, chicken up to 14 years old, and a liter of oil every four months, (well, a friend tells me it's a gallon every four months, what there won't be is anything to fry) in addition to everything else. It would be understandable if they were at war, besieged in the worst medieval style, in a castle, surrounded by the enemy on all four sides, but that is not the case," he questioned.
