Flor de Cuba made it very clear once again that the most important thing for her is to help her family and ensure that they lack nothing from afar, even if that involves criticism from those who believe that sending food and resources to relatives in Cuba is just giving money to the regime's government.
In an interview for "An Unfiltered Podcast," the controversy she has always had with the host Alexander Otaola came to light, and how she has been labeled a communist.
To the suggestion that she has evaded questions related to the Cuban regime on several occasions, the influencer replied: “Of course, because I face consequences for answering them, consequences that those asking me the questions will not bear. I have two children in Cuba, I have a 64-year-old mother, and I have a brother who cannot work because he is a cancer survivor. I support my mother, I support my eldest son, and I support my brother.”
“Do you think I'm going to risk the economy and the future of my children just to respond to someone who will not help me at all when I'm in prison?”, Flor de Cuba challenged her interviewer.
Regarding the shipment of care packages to Cuba to help her loved ones, she stated that she will continue doing so, despite being criticized for it.
Flor de Cuba remarked that only certain content they publish on social media becomes news, such as when she went to a five-star hotel in the midst of a widespread blackout in Cuba: “Right now there’s another blackout in Cuba and within ten minutes a taxi is picking up my mom to take her to a five-star hotel for as long as the blackout lasts, because I have the money, because I can, and because I don’t want to experience blackouts, just because I don’t feel like it.”
