A young Cuban responded without hesitation when El Creador Cubano asked her on the street what she would change in Cuba: "The government."
The clip of only 38 seconds was published this week. This content creator is visiting the island conducting street interviews with ordinary citizens.
In response to the question about the future of Cuban youth, the young woman was equally straightforward: "I don't see much of a future."
Their testimony did not remain in superficial political criticism, but instead pointed to the heart of the system: "Those in power want to give words meanings that are not truly what they carry."
The young woman also denounced the indoctrination that the regime imposes from childhood: "From a young age, you are always seeing the same things over and over again in school, the slogans."
He also criticized the programming of the Cuban state television, noting that the advertisements are "all like communists, socialists," and concluded: "In Cuba, you will always be given just one option, which is to be socialist."
The video adds to a wave of testimonies that in recent weeks have shaken social media from within the island.
On Thursday, the same page published a clip of a Cuban who broke down in tears crying "Give me back my Cuba" and "People are dying of hunger, people are suffering," a video that garnered over 622,000 views.
On Wednesday, Grandma Marta shared another viral testimony in which, amidst tears, she denounced six decades of dictatorship and asked how many mothers have "neither a glass of milk nor bread to give to their children."
This type of young voices has multiplied in 2026 despite the risk of reprisals.
In March, 21-year-old Anna Bensi made a statement that circulated widely: "The dictatorship will not fall just because I say so. It will fall because they have nothing left to offer."
Shiorocio Sanz, who in February demanded change in Cuba citing blackouts and shortages, was subjected in March to a police interview with threats to silence her.
The context surrounding these testimonies is devastating: according to the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights, 89% of the population lives in extreme poverty, 80% consider the current situation worse than the Special Period of the 1990s, and 93% of Cubans state that they would leave the country if they could.
Since 2021, approximately two million Cubans have left the island, and 30% of the emigrants are between 15 and 34 years old, making the youth exodus one of the most serious demographic phenomena in the recent history of the country.
