The comedian Ulises Toirac shared a thoughtful message with his followers on social media this Monday, which has sparked various interpretations about Cuban society today.

Let's save the little plant. Whatever that may mean for each one,” the comedian expressed on Facebook alongside an image that invites debate and reflection.

The illustration places the characters of Eve and Wall-E in post-apocalyptic Havana, in an environment reflecting destruction and abandonment, with ruined buildings and dismantled vehicles, evoking a situation of crisis and decay.

However, in the background stands the restored and dazzling Capitol of Havana, which could be interpreted as a symbol of the arrogance and prepotency of the Cuban regime.

Wall-E holds a plant that represents hope, rebirth, and the possibility of a new beginning, a message of optimism amidst devastation, and whose protection could suggest the need for changes in the country.

With the illustration and message posted on Facebook, Toirac leaves it up to each person's interpretation to find something that brings them hope in the midst of unease, and that is worth defending.

Interesting reflections are read in the comments section.

Alexander Martínez commented: "The little plant is so destroyed that I wonder if we are still in time to save it."

On her part, Maritza Garcia said: “I don't think there is salvation for now, we could say that the roots are not strong.”

"Lucky if we both come out unscathed with the little plant," noted Iraida Victores.

A person named Yarelis Suarez commented: "I would love to be able to save her, but I don't think we are prepared for that, too much toxicity." Toirac responded to this comment with a statement: "I'm almost thinking the same. And I'm an optimist bordering on idiotic."

Recently, Toirac, who recently warned about the extreme current scenario that could lead to a social outbreak in the country, described the sad reality that Cuban families face daily.

Mothers inventing in the kitchen, children who couldn't rest due to the heat and mosquitoes, elderly people hanging their socks out of the windows, washed by hand and without soap", was the harsh Cuban reality described by the popular comedian in a Facebook post.
