The former spy Gerardo Hernández Nordelo criticized those who demand changes in Cuba, labeling them as "misnamed Cubans.”
The cedrist spy dared to say that the foreigners who support the revolution "are more Cuban than they are," referring to the opposition, during a meeting with participants of the International Colloquium "Homeland with Fidel," which seeks to create a global propaganda front to counter what the regime calls "lies" about the Island.
"While some so-called Cubans are calling for catastrophe, pain, suffering, and death for their people, you, who are more Cuban at heart than they are, are here with us supporting the Cuban revolution," he said.
He, also the national coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), published a reel on Facebook this week showing Cubans dancing in the street after the official event for the 65th anniversary of the proclamation of the socialist character of the Revolution, held at the corner of 23rd and 12th streets in Vedado, Havana, and presided over by Miguel Díaz-Canel.
The video aimed to refute the criticisms suggesting that Cubans are compelled to attend the regime's political events, as if images of dancing could disprove decades of documented coercion.
The post arrived on the same day that Cuba was experiencing one of its worst energy crises: power outages affecting up to 43% of the country simultaneously, with a power generation deficit reaching 1,871 megawatts on April 10.
The comedian Ulises Toirac was quick to label the political event as a "waste of resources" amid a crisis that leaves hospitals without electricity, families without water, and millions of Cubans without basic food. In this context, on the island.
Hernández's double standards are neither new nor isolated. Last Sunday, he posted a photo of the Capitolio in Havana with the caption "Beautiful Havana," sparking a wave of outrage among Cubans who denounce the contrast between the official narrative and everyday reality. Many have labeled him as the most mediocre spy in the history of Cuba, while others recall that The greatest blockade is that of the government itself.
