On the morning of Thursday, April 20th, I had the great honor of participating in the program of the prestigious influencer Manuel Milanes on his show "Jueves Republicano" (Republican Thursday), on behalf of the emblematic and growing Republican Party of Cuba, of which I have the privilege of being the National Spokesperson and Director. This Friday, April 21st, around 4 pm, I was threatened at the El Anillo police station by two State Security agents, who "alerted" me that my activism with exiled terrorists in the United States is being analyzed, and that my participation in the program with an instigator to destabilize the "revolution" could be grounds for imprisonment for many crimes classified as code red by the country's and the "revolution's" security forces. They said the light on me is flashing red, and that no matter how much visibility I have gained, they can take me for a ride, since more significant counterrevolutionaries are "hidden" and are barely mentioned, nor is anything done about them.

How ridiculous this regime is! I have a YouTube channel, Tears of Cuba, created and run by myself inside Cuba—when I can manage it, of course. And they're alarmed and losing sleep because I participated in a program broadcast from the United States? That's truly paranoia and madness. Calling an influencer an instigator of terrorism and social unrest in Cuba is nothing short of ludicrous and insane. Respected influencers like Manuel Milanés are simply calling on the Cuban people to break their chains, realize their dreams, and reclaim their now-shackled and violated rights and freedoms. If this is being a terrorist, how many millions of terrorists does the Cuban people have today?

Brothers and sisters, any Cuban who intends to join the ranks of the opposition to the Castro dictatorship without being prepared to lose friends, romantic relationships, father, mother, children, siblings, to be unable to hold down a job, to be fined, beaten, arrested, imprisoned, and even to die, I warn you that you are treading on the wrong path. The opposition is not for the weak; it is for true warriors tested by fire and pressure, where it is determined whether you are always just a piece of coal, or whether you were truly born to be a brilliant diamond of inestimable value.
