Sandro Castro, grandson of Fidel Castro, admitted in an interview with the Colombian channel Red+ Noticias that he has no close ties with Raúl Castro or the power circle, and he avoided commenting on whether Miguel Díaz-Canel should step down from the presidency.
When the journalist directly asked him if he has sat down to talk with Raúl Castro about the country's direction, Sandro replied without hesitation: I have no proximity from that preamble to those matters.
"As a young person, I lead my own independent life, I am working hard on my own affairs, I can’t respond to you about that because I would be lying," he stated.
The statement dismantles the image of a young man with privileged access to the heart of Castro's power, something many Cubans attribute to him because of his surname and his public presence on social media.
When the interviewer asked him if Díaz-Canel should step aside, Sandro evaded the question, claiming his power was running out during the broadcast, without commenting on the future of the leader. However, at another moment he stated that things were bad in Cuba and that it is necessary to "change what needs to be changed."
Throughout the interview, conducted from Havana amid power outages, Sandro described himself as a humor and gothic-vampiric aesthetic influencer whose content is not political.
