Despite the controversy generated by his recent arrival in the United States, Cuban actor Alejandro Cuervo shared several photos this weekend where he appears calm and smiling from Brickell City Centre in Miami.
Dressed in a printed shirt, black pants, and sports sneakers, Cuervo posed confidently against the spectacular backdrop of the skyscrapers in one of the city's most exclusive areas. In the images, the actor appears relaxed and oblivious to the flood of comments generated by his arrival in U.S. territory.
Although many of his followers congratulated him on this new journey and defended him against criticism, just as many attacked the actor for his presence in Miami: “How is it that you arrive like this in the USA? Must be a work contract”; “Another communist in the city of exile”; “I don’t understand how this government allows these people in here while those who really need to be here are deported”; “That was pure intelligence. He was preparing the ground and throwing off the communists”; “In my opinion, another freeloader and opportunist; “The apparatus is entering Miami, they won’t stop. They might as well set up an office directly here.”
The publication by Cuervo comes amid an intense wave of criticism from many Cubans, both on the island and abroad, who question his arrival on U.S. soil in the context of a complex migration situation where thousands of Cubans are facing the threat of deportation and the Trump administration has imposed new travel restrictions on Cuban citizens.
However, the main criticisms from the Cuban exile community directed at Cuervo lie in his lack of a critical stance towards the dictatorship on the island, and the fact that he remains distant and uninvolved in political matters.
Although the actor has not made any public statements regarding this controversy on social media nor has he indicated whether his trip is with the intention of settling in the United States or if it is a tourist visit, his recent posts seem to convey a clear message: he is enjoying this time in Miami despite the media storm.
