The young man in charge of organizing the controversial birthday party for Sandro Castro took to social media to clarify that they did not intend to offend anyone with the celebration of the event.
To demonstrate his remorse for having offended millions of Cubans who view the party of the grandson of dictator Fidel Castro as an affront to a people enduring their darkest hours, the young man held a live stream in which he ultimately praised Miguel Díaz-Canel and the so-called "revolution."
Identified on social media as carluchin_verde, the young man—who describes himself on Instagram as a "chill guy, with nothing to say"—held a live stream in which he aimed to put an end to the controversy and expressed genuine surprise at the commotion caused by the event he is organizing for next Thursday, December 5, at the bar EFE, owned by Sandro.
"I don’t usually make this type of videos, but I wanted to make an exception because I have seen a lot of controversy and many pages attacking me because I am the organizer of the event... Sandro Castro's birthday on Thursday, December 5 at the EFE," the young man began, whose identity has not been clarified by this publication.
Like Sandrito's video, Carluchin_verde's livestream was made with the intention of "clarifying to all those who may have felt offended or harmed by this publication" that their discomfort "makes no sense at all."
If Cubans are upset because, amid the severe crisis they are experiencing, Sandro is inviting them to a party worthy of the jet set, complete with a "dress code," a welcome cocktail for guests, Cristal beer, tequila shots for the first twenty women, and sparkling wine "free for all," it's because they have not grasped the proletarian nature of the event.
"This flyer we created is not meant to harm or offend anyone," insisted carluchin_verde, as if the cause of the offense was the promotional poster he designed for the occasion, rather than the event itself, highlighting the disconnect of the regime's elites from the widespread crisis affecting the country.
According to the young man, they were aware of the situation and that’s why they chose to celebrate the birthday at “the most humble place there is in Cuba: the EFE bar.” Just as he said it; those are his own words: “the most humble place there is in Cuba.”
“Because Sandro is the owner of the business and so on, we decided to do it there, but with no intention of harming the community,” clarified carluchin-verde, event organizer for the humble, by the humble, and for the humble.
After making such statements, what more could the young man with dyed green hair say? "Nothing; we support the revolution a lot. Long live Canel! Long live the revolution! Long live Cuba!"
