The CubanAmelia Calzadilla, a mother who became popular on social networks for her criticism of Miguel Díaz-Canel's regime, said that in Cuba many people advance with the system by selling their soul.

"In Cuba there are people who renounce their morality, advance with the system and live off of it, but I was not willing to do it," Amelia said in an interview withTelemundo.

Last week Amelia left Cuba to provide emotional and psychological stability for her family. They were under pressure from State Security for their activism against the regime on social networks. She left the country with the support of her husband who is a Spanish citizen.

"While the News said that there was oxygen in all hospitals, I arrived with one of my children with an acute asthma attack and they told me that they couldn't give him an aerosol because they didn't have mouthpieces. I got tired," Amelia said in the interview. .

She acknowledged that at one time she believed in the Cuban political system, but little by little she became disenchanted with each lie and the final straw came with the pressure from State Security and the threats of taking her to prison for saying what she thought.

The Cuban mother, now in exile with her three children and her partner, assures that the end of the regime will come when all the people are willing to stop it.

"Against one they can, but against 11 million Cubans they cannot," Amelia commented.

About hisdeparture from the country to Spain, the young woman said last week that she had to do it because her family was under terrible pressure.

"The reason is to provide more emotional and psychological stability to the children. I have had a lot of social pressure motivated by the issue of the direct ones, judicial pressure, because they had threatened me and in that circumstance you understand that you cannot protect yourself and that no one is going to protect you ", said.

Shortly after, he shared on his social networks images of how his life is currently turning out in Spain and showed his children happy in an open environment, interacting without fear or restrictions.
