Cuban lawyer Manuel Viera, who has thousands of followers on social media for his critiques of the government, reacted to Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. elections.
Viera, who recently began selling all her belongings after announcing that she is leaving the country with her family, expressed her concern about the potential disappearance of humanitarian parole following the Republican's arrival at the White House.
"Rafael will seem insignificant in the face of Hurricane Donald that has just approached. Goodbye to my parole! (...) This is worse than the meteorite! The Latin American left is uneasy, and Cuban communism is weakened," he said on Facebook.
"I hope they make it worth eating me down to the soles of my shoes... It's worth it!" she added, before congratulating the Americans for having the right to vote for their president.
Known on social media as 'Manuel Viera Porelcambio', the jurist commented in another post on how a Republican victory could influence the lives of the Cuban people due to the inefficiency of the Castro regime.
"What are all those strange companies like Supermarket 23, Cuballama, etc., going to sell starting in January? This will be without trips, without an embassy, without parole, without CBP, without remittances, without combos, and without Western," he noted.
"If the Cuban communists have been unable to overcome challenges during Biden's administration, despite all the advantages and openings they have had, it is clear that under current conditions, they lack even the slightest capability to endure four years of a republican government, of a Trump presidency, in the worst economic moment for Cuba since 1959!" he asserted.
Manuel joked, asking his friends living in the United States to come say goodbye to him before January, because after that they would be a long time without seeing each other.
"Trump will insist on the idea of toppling communism (he has already stated this), and the communists will raise the old flag of the blockade even higher and lament for donations while we starve," he predicted.
"The only ones who can define that history are the people of Cuba themselves. It has always been this way! It will be very, very hard for us, the Cuban people, but I hope we can give Cuba the change in direction it has needed for a long time!" he concluded.
