Sandro Castro recently reappeared on one of his Instagram stories with a cable and a warning for his detractors hidden between the lines.

"Today I woke up like a 220 volt cable, whatever comes my way, I will break it." This is how Fidel Castro's rebellious grandson warned.

“I can sneak in a Bruce Lee with Jackie Chan just as easily as I can sink the Titanic without you noticing”, the young man added, with his usual joking style full of double entendre.

Sandro -now considered the black sheep of the Castro family- expressed his gratitude for the reception he has received for his challenge in repairman mode, which he referred to as “the summer theme.”

The most viral of the Castros invited his followers to request the song via direct message and promised to accept “all stories and collaborations.”

Sandro said goodbye with a “Medicate me, Vampire!”, a request that ended -as is customary for him- by opening a Cristal beer, his inseparable "Cristach".

Sandro Castro's post comes after recent attacks against him by official figures such as historian Ernesto Limia, the spy Gerardo Hernández, and the spokesperson known as El Necio.

Although Sandro has not made a direct statement, he warns that he is charged with high voltage and ready "to take on" anyone who stands in his way.
