The comedianBoncó Quiñongo He responded to the criticism received for showing up in Miami driving a Lada.
Boncó toured the streets of Miami in a Lada, an experience that he transmitted live to his fans in a funny video in which he stated that people look at him more than if he were in a Mercedes, while the whistles of other cars could be heard.
But some Cubans did not like what he did, and criticized him, telling him that he suffers from Stockholm syndrome, that he has socialist nostalgia, or calling him a clown or ridiculous.
"Ha ha ha,I laugh at the comments", responded the actor on the wall ofFacebook ofCyberCubawhere your video was shared.
"If I tell you the car I drive, the model and the year, then the same ones who criticized are going to burst. Let's see, children of God, you have not heard this: He who forgets where he comes from will never know. where it goes. Seeing and wanting to ride a Lada that brings you closer to your youth does not condition your political position or your human condition," he said.
To a fan's question,Boncó revealed that his real car is a 2023 Mercedes Benz GLE 350 White color.
"My followers know me and know that a person like me can feel a healthy nostalgia when seeing a car similar to the one I had in Cuba. Because I haven't been there for years and because of how things are I won't go. But I have never even denied my land. nor my people, although I hate tyrants and dictators. I had a Moskvitch in Cuba and more too, but that's beside the point," he added.
"Gentlemen, please. Freedom of expression is not divorced from tact and discretion, do not mistreat it," he concluded.
The vast majority of comments on the publication support the comedian.
"Those who criticize the most don't even have enough to add gasoline to thetransportation that they have," wrote one young woman.
"Cars don't know about politics, if you like it, even if it was made by Lenin himself, you like it, so bless you," said a mechanic who loves Ladas.
"My brother, don't pay attention to anyone. It is better to be criticized for something than to be ignored for doing nothing, the one who criticizes you is for one thing only: envy," said a man from Holguín.
"Here in the United States, I have realized that many are only interested in politicking and deep down what their brains are is nothing, everyone should enjoy what they like and learn not to be so simple and criticize everything," said one from Sancti Spiritus.
Only some found it wrong to ride in a Lada car through Miami, and accused the comedian of being nostalgic for communism.
"Poor United States, the most prosperous country in the world and that these things are seen by us Cubans," commented a young woman.
"No shit. With so many modern cars and buying an old Lada? The mind betrays them, they miss the foot that crushed them for so many years," said a father.
"For God's sake, die of thirst with so much water," said a Cuban from the Island.
"You have DNA from the president of CDR or the guarapito on the corner," said a Holguín resident.
"This guy brought mental misery from Cuba as well. There are so many good cars that ride in that can of Russian meat, there are people who are worthy of giving them a rope," stressed a young man.
