Actor Erdwin Fernández responded to an attack on his person and his opinions circulating on Facebook and was shared on the page of Mariela Castro Espín, daughter of Raúl Castro.
“Mrs. Mariela Castro (if you really are), like any common Cuban city, is in her right to share this publication, as well as I am in mine to give my opinion. It is called freedom of expression what I defend. he gives an opinion, I may not agree, but it is his right, and I cannot forbid it. Of course, without rudeness or offenses, “the actor told Castro.
Posting here for a profile identified as Kwenson Joa Sierra on the Facebook group, “Denying the Enemies of the Cuban Revolution,” branded Fernandez a hypocrite for moving between Miami and Havana, but only (defender) freedom of expression in Havana “.
“The ‘lack of freedoms’ is criticized here, but there he did not dare to wear a hat with the image of Che, or a pullover that says ‘Down with the blockade’, much less to acknowledge in an interview the work “So what freedom are they talking about? Put your ‘pullovito’ there to believe them, or you’ll have to sing like the Green Cakes: Hypocrisy,” the publication added.
Fernandez clarified “all those who repeated opinions without knowing,” that he does not live between Miami and Havana. “I live in Havana. I don’t respond to mafias or groups. I say what I think here in Cuba,” he said.
The post to attack the actor includes a photo of him in Miami Beach. In this regard, Fernández specified: “I went to New York to collect my award for Best Latin Actor in Latin ACE, a Cuban actor (tremendous pride) and by the way, and because I could and I wanted to go to Miami, in 2017! And here I am, in Cuba, still working for my Cuban audience! ”
“Mr. Kwenson, I’d rather be sincere and criticized than be scolded, flattered, and silently despised by his own people. Honestly, when you want to talk about me, find out first,” he replied to the author of the controversial post.
“Please, I do not attack, nor am I insulted. I only answer sincerely. As I was taught. And I will continue to do so. If anyone does not agree with me, I love ‘discussions’, with logic and reason ahead. Ah, and I’m not going to block anyone, “he said.
Fernandez noted that he knew “many who wore pullovers, hats and much more and are now in Miami talking against what he swore allegiance to, if you can sing hypocrisy (and there are many). Not me, nor to the one who really said what he thinks. The enemies are the others, the ones close to you, not us, the sincere and distant ones. “
As for Cuban and world doctors, the actor will show his respect. “They should really be at the top of the pyramid, I’ve always said that. I’ve never been asked about them in any interviews. How ironic, right?”
Erdwin Fernández’s response was applauded by several Cubans, including actress Ketty de la Iglesia. “Having shared it is a very big irresponsibility on your part (she pointed out to Mariela Castro). We are here to support honesty and transparency, we must not leave just one more Cuban,” the actress wrote.
Fernández said about the publication against him that it is “frightening and with no chance of being answered. And most of them don’t know what they were talking about, just to repeat like parrots. Sorry parrots, you are smarter “It’s not the orchestra and the choir. The usual thing. I was a stranger and calm.”
