After the Cuban Television News shared a video in which it was stated that the influencer Manuel Milanés had “financed” terrorist acts from abroad, the content creator spoke out on the matter, denying all the regime’s accusations.
Through the studies of UnivisionMilanés responded to these slanders, which claim that he had paid for some people on the Island to carry out “destabilizing” activities to sow panic on the Island.
“You can see in the body language of whoever is speaking, that he has never seen me, he even says that he has never communicated with me directly. I don’t know who he is,” the YouTuber told reporter Mario Vallejo.
The video shows one of the alleged people who carried out terrorist acts on the Island, who stated, under apparent pressure from State Security, that his actions had been financed from Florida by the aforementioned influencer.
During the interview, he denied the accusations of links with that individual, whose case was denounced by the regime’s spokesman Humberto López. The regime’s accusations claim that at least two people They crossed the sea on a jet ski with a “shipment” of weaponsHowever, the regime’s reporting leaves more questions than answers.
Milanés believes that it is very difficult to imagine someone crossing the 90 miles between Florida and Cuba on a jet ski, especially due to limitations such as fuel and the authorities of both countries that patrol the area.
In his opinion, the Castro government, which is facing one of the worst economic crises in its history, is looking for an external enemy to which it can attribute all its internal problems.
In that sense, he considers that the regime wants to pass off the obvious discontent of the Cuban people, caused by food shortages and constant blackouts, as alleged terrorist attacks.
The influencer states that the greatest fear of “a tyranny as cruel as the Cuban one” is that of being overthrown by its citizens, which is why he does everything possible to keep the people under control.
It is important to remember that Milanés was also included in a list of Cuban terrorists shared by the Ministry of the Interior (Minint). This list included other influencers, activists and opposition figures.
Analysts consider that the list was the only way the regime found to punish the opposition abroad, since it cannot repress it like the dissidence that is still on the Island.
Vallejo considers that the inclusion on the National Terrorism List It means that any of the 61 individuals mentioned in it could face extradition if they visit a country allied to the Cuban regime.
