"There are no ambulances, but there are enough cars to harass and put the families of our political prisoners in the stocks! They don't let us meet, hug each other, help each other in martyrdom. Let the people live in peace and freedom!" he demanded .

"What is the morbidity of making political prisoners, families, suffer? Get them out of jail if you have nothing to lose. They are not a threat to you; they have no weapons to kill you," he then demanded in a message .

"Why do you make the poor family of political prisoners suffer, like Lisandra Góngora, whose father you have forced to go with the children to the Isle of Youth, to Wilmer? I am asking you for a little kindness, save to your people while you can, you have it pretty screwed up," he then added.

Carlos came to the fore again a few months ago, when he began to broadcast his comments on social networks.criticisms about the situation in Cuba, for which it has been censored and relegated.

He recently stated thatone day the Cuban dictatorship "will fall", being shocked by the moviePlanted, which tells the story of the women who suffered imprisonment for opposing the Castro regime.

Massola said that director Lilo Vilaplana's film touched his heart "deeply" by showing "how much those patriots suffered," and he confessed that it "brought tears to his eyes," but also "the spirit of patriotism that this town has hidden, but who has it."
