Cuban boxer Yordenis Ugás spoke out regarding the recent visit of his compatriot, actress Ana de Armas, to Cuba, criticizing the attitude with which she appeared.
During an interview with comedians and influencers Pichy Boys, the well-known athlete mentioned that De Armas “is not committed” to the situation in her country. These statements come after last week The actress was caught in a luxury club in Havanaa visit he made without announcing it on networks, trying to hide.
The boxer, who has been characterized by his stance in opposition to the Cuban dictatorship, criticized that the Oscar nominee does not use the great influence she has internationally to denounce the reality of the Island.
Since the actress is one of the best-known in Hollywood, many, like Ugás, believe that she could raise her voice against the repressive government and the crisis that the people of Cuba are experiencing. The boxer did not let go of the idea with the interview, and on his Facebook account he questioned the actress again.
In his publication, the boxer expressed that he gave Ana the benefit of the doubt, and questioning “if the Cubans on the Island do not want to sacrifice or do anything for a change, why should she, being a successful and millionaire person, should sacrifice your freedom and peace for them?”
Despite this indulgence, Ugás highlighted that the Cuban reality is not taken into account by those who have the ability to generate changes from privileged positions, as is the case of the actress.
“How clear you are, Ugás. That is why you have the respect and affection of the majority”, “Principles are not negotiable”; “She was never a walker and it shows,” were some of the comments.
Neutrality of Ana de Armas with the Cuban dictatorship
The truth is that De Armas is the most famous Cuban actress of the moment, and enjoys prestige and credibility with a respected work in the United States and even in Europe after the success of her film Blondefrom 2022, with which she was nominated for the Academy Oscar for Best Actress.
The lack of a statement on the humanitarian crisis in Cuba has been a constant complaint to the actress, who has remained strategically neutral in terms of politics, and who on her visits to the Island frequents people related to the dictatorship, never speaking against the same.
On his last visit, which occurred in May, The actress celebrated her birthday at a party organized by members of the regime in a luxurious cluband even lived with the personal chef of Lis Cuesta, the wife of leader Miguel Díaz-Canel.
Given that His visits have always been touristic, posting romantic photos of Havanawithout ever being against the government or recognizing the repression and shortcomings of the Island, the actress has been harshly criticized, although also justified by others, who believe that she only seeks to maintain the stability she has achieved in Hollywood away from any scandal.
