The Cuban Lumey Guzmán starred in a Facebook video in which she responds harshly to the communist cederista Pedro Miyares Vega, who posted a message of support for the Revolution and Miguel Díaz-Canel, convinced that "we are all Castro" in Cuba.
"Oy, I've been Guzmán Fernández for as long as I can remember. If I were Castro, I'd be living well. Aren't you looking at Sandro Castro and all those people?" Lumey asked the cederista, also reminding him that Cubans "are giving our lives in this country, without wanting to."
The trigger was a post by Miyares directed at the U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, in which he stated: "In Cuba, the revolutionaries we all are Castro and we are loyal followers of Díaz Canel and he will surely be confirmed. I have said Homeland or Death, We Will Overcome."
Lumey dismantles that discourse with a clarity that leaves no room for interpretation. While the cederista proclaims that the people are indestructible in defending the Revolution, she points out that the very same people are dying, not out of political conviction, but because they are trapped in a grim reality, at the mercy of a repressive State.
The Cuban draws a clear line between those who perpetuate the system from positions of ideological privilege and the ordinary Cubans who suffer from prolonged blackouts, food shortages, and uncontrollable inflation.
It is not the first time that Lumey Guzmán has publicly confronted the regime's structures. On March 6, 2026, he went viral by denouncing the exorbitant bank fees and cash withdrawal limits that affect self-employed individuals and ordinary citizens, highlighting how the Central Bank of Cuba, "".
The new video by Lumey emerges at a time of high political tension. In February and March 2026, secret negotiations between Rubio and representatives from Raúl Castro's circle were revealed, discussing a possible transition in Cuba that would exclude Díaz-Canel. Rubio stated that the island needs new people in charge and described it as a "failed nation."
The regime responded by hardening its rhetoric, and the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), led by Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, intensified their digital activism with messages supporting socialism and attacks on Rubio, like the one featuring the CDR member whom Lumey responds to.
On his part, Pedro Miyares is a notable communist on social media. In 2023, he became popular when he described himself as an “exemplary cederista” and celebrated the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the Ministry of the Interior (MININT) by tattooing on his chest the face of Miguel Díaz-Canel and the logo of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC). This sparked mockery and he is still remembered for it today.
