Sandro Castro, the content creator from the family in power in Cuba, reportedly asked Trump to bring freedom to the island.
According to a leaked video that appears to have been discarded from one of its sketches, the grandson of the late dictator asks Trump for "Freedom... The Statue of Liberty."
The segment, spread by the opposition figure Eliecer Ávila, seems to have been cut from a video recently released in Havana alongside an impersonator of Donald Trump, in which the character suggests "buying Cuba."
In the finally released video, the character imitating Trump -Roberto Ferrante, producer of Planet Records- claims that he traveled to the island to conduct business and states: “I want to buy Cuba.”
Now, in the discarded fragment, it is shown that, in light of the meager offer of only 100 dollars for Cuba, Sandro suggests to this fictional Trump to rename the K Tower as Trump Tower.
Finally, Sandro sells the island to Trump in exchange for the Statue of Liberty.
The disobedient grandson of Fidel Castro continues to gain notoriety. This weekend, the prestigious American newspaper The New York Times published an extensive profile on Sandro Castro, the 33-year-old grandson of the late dictator, who has become one of the most talked-about figures on Cuban social media due to a mix of ostentation, satire, and veiled criticisms of his family's own government.
The article, titled "Fidel Castro's Grandson Sandro Becomes Instagram Influencer," describes how the young man has amassed over 150,000 followers on Instagram by posting provocative videos that contrast his privileged lifestyle with the hardships faced by most Cubans.
In January of this year, he posted a photo mocking Díaz-Canel with a Cristal beer and the message: “When I’m with you, I forget that Díaz-Canel is president,” a direct criticism of the leader that brought him no consequences.
Sandro, son of Alexis Castro —identified by the Times as a photographer and son of Fidel— was born in 1991 and owns Bar EFE, located at 23rd and F Street in Vedado. The establishment charges an entrance fee of 1,000 Cuban pesos per month and tables with a minimum spend of 15,000 pesos, an amount equivalent to a couple of months' salary for an average worker in Cuba (the average salary in Cuba is around 6,500 pesos).
In March of this year, he shared an AI-generated photo alongside Barron Trump, the son of the U.S. president.
