Cubans submit proposals to Sandro Castro to lower the dollar in Cuba: "Let's see if you can do it."

Cubans reacted to the campaign by influencer Sandro Castro to lower the price of the dollar in the informal market in Cuba, leaving him a list of recommendations on social media.

This Saturday, the young man has an Instagram story with a meme featuring a helicopter carrying a flag that says: "USD, up to 300 I won't buy MIPYMEROS."

The message is addressed to private business owners in Cuba and suggests that they could change the course of inflation and push for the dollar to decrease in the black market. However, Cubans have other ideas about how Sandro could benefit them and have discussed them on social media with a challenge for the influencer: "Let's see if you can really do it".

List of recommendations for Sandro Castro

1. "Let him start by lowering the prices in his bar and in other restaurants in Havana, where nothing has gone down in price." If he wants to set an example, he should do it from his businesses before speaking about elToque.
2. "If you want to lower the price of the dollar, step up and sell the dollars your family has accumulated over the decades at 25 pesos each," demonstrating how you want to help the people rather than continue to enrich yourself.
3. "Tell them to lower the prices in the small and medium enterprises." The dollar may decrease, but prices in private businesses remain the same or even higher, and inspectors turn a blind eye.
4. "Why doesn't he get involved in lowering the prices of food and soft drinks?" He should use his "influence" to reduce the cost of food and basic products, as he has more power than many government officials.
5. "The dollar is not our currency; Sandro should focus on lowering national prices," because the people live in Cuban pesos and cannot eat with promises.
6. "Let him sell them for 300 or less; he has plenty. It shouldn't just be talk. If he offers them, they will surely be bought in minutes."
7. "Sandrito loquito, how nice it would be if you turned your irony into tangible actions." Stop mocking the people with irony and media gestures, and transform your sarcasm into action. Help those in need, donate food, or support the less fortunate.
8. "He is not the master of the dollar prices; what he needs to do is work like everyone else and not live off tales. Instead of playing with the economy, he should work and produce, like any Cuban who works hard to survive on a miserable salary."
9. "That they use their power to demand a solid economic strategy, not temporary fixes." Inflation is not fought with memes, but with production and transparency.
10. "Stop manipulating the people with the issue of the dollar." "What he and his associates are looking for is to buy low and sell high," just like the elites of the regime have always done.

Social media was flooded with sarcastic and critical comments directed at the young businessman, whom many accuse of "living off his name" and attempting to clean up his public image while the Cuban population remains mired in economic misery.

Other internet users interpreted Sandro's alleged "economic campaign" as a strategy for self-promotion and distraction, reminding him that the people need food, medicine, and fair wages, not speeches about the exchange rate.

"Baja los precios de la comida, no el dólar," wrote a user. "You can do it, Sandrito, start with your wallet," another one sarcastically remarked.
