The comedian Javier Berridy published a video on Facebook that has gone viral: a circular alphabet where each letter corresponds to a problem, character, or reality of contemporary Cuba.
Berridy took advantage of the program "Pasapalabra," a popular television quiz show in Spain where players guess words based on definitions. The most important challenge is El Rosco, a circle with the letters of the alphabet, where participants must respond with a word that starts with each letter.
In this "Cuban Pasapalabra," Berridy constructs a portrait of the multidimensional crisis affecting Cuba, blending sharp humor with direct and unfiltered denunciation.
The A begins the alphabet with the most everyday reality: "With the letter A, something that all Cubans suffer every day: blackout." The B ridicules the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel: "What does Díaz-Canel talk about in his speeches? nonsense." The C points to "Cangrejo," the nickname of Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, the grandson of Raúl Castro and a colonel in the MININT.
No one escapes the whip of Berridy: Raúl Castro, former spy Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, Lis Cuesta...
But the parody also addresses issues such as the shortage of food in Cuba, poor access to the Internet, and the impact of drugs on youth.
"Tell me how I responded," the comedian asks his followers.
In just 87 seconds, the "Cuban Pasapalabra" encapsulates the reality of the Cuban people and their government.
