The Cuban actor Alejandro Cuervo has landed in Miami, and his arrival has not gone unnoticed. La Familia Cubana shared a video of the artist's arrival on U.S. soil, and a strong controversy has erupted.
One of the many dreams fulfilled, I have already been to Europe, to parts of America, and well, coming to the United States is truly a dream, I have so many friends, I am part of the La Familia Cubana project. You all know, Cuervo in the USA,” he stated in the video shared by this profile on Facebook.
Although many users welcomed him, the comments quickly filled with criticism and questions about his presence in the United States, amid a tense immigration context for Cubans.
The publication from La Familia Cubana announcing its arrival sparked mixed reactions. While some congratulated it, others expressed their discontent and accused it of being communist and of not having criticized the Cuban regime.
“How did this guy enter the United States, an accomplice of the Cuban dictatorship, while there are hundreds of dissidents who have not been able to?”; “Blessings to you, buddy, but out of respect for your fellow countrymen who are being deported unjustly and without cause, you shouldn't have made that video since you are part of the Cuban family, as you yourself said. Respect yourself, Cuban.”; “What is he doing here, and how and why? Not for nothing, but how did he get in?”; “Everyone loves a good thing, they all end up in lands of freedom.”; “I don't understand, they are taking Cubans out of the USA while these people are coming in.”; “Another one who has never defended any needy Cuban, just another opportunist.”; “But seriously, they continue to allow these shameless people to enter while those who are here are being deported, what is this?” some internet users expressed.
The controversy intensifies due to Cuervo's public history, as he has preferred to remain aloof from critical stances against the dictatorship in Cuba.
Just a few days ago, the actor returned to Cuba with his wife and children, after a family trip to Spain that he shared on social media. Now, with his presence on U.S. soil, the conversation has sparked, reflecting the discomfort generated by certain Cuban public figures when they step onto American soil without having condemned the abuses of the regime.
So far, Alejandro has not said whether this is a permanent move to the United States or just another one of his sightseeing stops in various countries.
