"Do you remember the young Cuban who about a month ago came out washing dishes and complaining that Cuba was better than the United States for him? Well, it's to inform you that I returned to Cuba," he revealed.

Yandri asked his compatriots not to let anyone tell them a story, since upon arriving in the United States, "from the beginning no one gives you the light of anything, you are just one more."

He explained that in Cuba he was always in all the bars in Havana, at the Taiger concerts, "no way about women," and yet in the United States, after work, he had to travel five kilometers by bicycle to get home. .

"And tomorrow the same thing, without a social life, without anything at all. In Cuba I had everything and no one messed with me," said the young man, who did not clarify how he could live this supposed life of luxury in an increasingly impoverished and expensive.
