The Cuban actor Erdwin Fernández has given new samples of his love for freedom of expression, this time in response to a text written by photographer Kwenson Joa, who accused him of being “hypocritical” and other lintels, post that Mariela Castro replicated on her social media.
Fernández did not hesitate to make several clarifications in a text that appears as a comment in the publication of Raúl Castro’s daughter.
“I do not live between Miami and Havana. I live in Havana. I do not respond to mafias or groups. I say what I think here, to Cuba “, began to clarify.
“I know many people who wore pullovers, hats and much more and now they are in Miami talking against what they swore allegiance to, they can sing hypocrisy (and there are many). Not to me, nor to what he really says what he thinks “, said the actor, who took the opportunity to say that “The enemies are the others, those close to you, not us, the sincere and distant.”
On his lack of praise for Cuban doctors in interviews, he clarifies that they have simply never asked him about the subject. “My Cuban doctors and those in the world, my respect, should really be at the top of the pyramid, I’ve always said that,” he said.
“I went to New York to collect my award for Best Latin Actor in Latin ACE, to a Cuban actor (tremendous pride),” he said of his trip to the United States, adding that in passing he went to Miami because he was hungry ”; despite which “here I am, in Cuba, still working for my Cuban audience. “
“Mr. Kwenson, I would rather be sincere and criticized than be a scoundrel, a flatterer, and be silently despised by your own people. Honestly, when you want to talk about me, find out first ”, he concluded in direct reference to the original author of the publication replicated by Mariela.
He then referred directly to Mariela Castro, to whom he recorded that she “like any common Cuban city is in its right to share this publication,” as well as he is in his opinion.
“What I advocate is freedom of expression. He gives an opinion, I may not agree, but it is his right, and I cannot forbid it. “, he commented with irony, and I recommended that other publications be given that have the interest they arouse. “Yes, without rudeness or offense,” he said.
“Please, I don’t attack, nor am I insulting, I just answer sincerely. As I was taught. And I will continue to do so. If someone disagrees with me, I love ‘discussions’, with logic and reasoning ahead. Oh, and I’m not going to block anyone !!! “, the artist concluded.
The original text, shared by the management of the National Center for Sex Education (Cenesex) on its social networks, accused the actor of being a hypocrite who attacks the Cuban government and instead does not do the same when traveling to the United States.
“The ‘lack of freedoms’ is criticized here, but there is no way to put on a hat with the image of Che, or a pullover that says ‘Down the blockade’, much less to recognize in an interview the work of our doctors . So what freedom are they talking about? Put your little shirt there to believe them, or you will have to sing like the Pasteles Verdes: Hipocresíaaaaa ”, said the author of the text with which Mariela Castro agreed.
Erdwin Fernández Collado -son of the actors Nilda Collado and Erdwin Fernández, the latter creator of the character of the clown Trompoloco- resides on the island and is often very active on social media.
In mid-September, he stated on Facebook that “saying what you think and criticizing what has been done wrong is not a crime.” Then he said that “that doesn’t make you the enemy,” that what actually makes you an enemy is “shut up about what you’ve done wrong.”
Erdwin Fernandez too came out in defense of Susana Perez, after she was criticized on social media and by the Cuban pro-government press for lending her voice for a promotional video of the Trump campaign in the United States.
He also supported the speaker of the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television, Yunior Morales, after the communicator sent a strong message to the government on the subject of the controversy generated by decrepit guts and chickens.
Among Erdwin Fernández’s most recent publications, his outrage at the Cuban government’s view that everything I say on the island is paid for by the US.
“It is absurd to believe that almost 12 million people have to think the same. To put any Cuban who thinks differently on that plane is to disrespect him. The difference of opinion is progress, development, humanity “, he will conclude.
