Sandro Castro, grandson of the late dictator Fidel Castro, continues flaunting his lavish lifestyle on social media, sharing photos that depict him in a relaxed and carefree manner. This comes at a time when most of his compatriots are struggling with hardship.
In his latest post, Sandro shared an image taken in a picturesque setting, sitting comfortably on a large sofa surrounded by plants, with a drink and a cellphone on the table. He gazes at the camera with a defiant attitude.
The post has sparked a wave of criticism from outraged Cubans who are appalled by the young man's brazen display of wealth, so far removed from the daily struggles of the Cuban people.
"What a smug face, living the good life while the real people are suffering. And they even shut down small businesses because the owners are getting rich, hahaha, and he's living it up," one commenter wrote.
"Don't criticize him anymore, poor thing, look how poorly dressed he is, without shoes. Ah, and there he is having a drink and a snack while working in the field under the summer sun," another sarcastically remarked.
"Enjoy it, because your grandfather sacrificed an entire nation for this," added a third.
Several others mockingly asked if his house experiences power outages or if it leaks when it rains.
"I would love to see a photo of you in some poor neighborhood in Havana, bringing food to some of those kids who are starving and living in misery, who most of the time have nothing to eat. Think about it, it would be a very kind gesture on your part. I know you can't solve everything alone, but you start little by little and if you keep doing it, it will become a habit. It is desperately needed for people like you to help out," suggested an earnest netizen identified as "the daughter of the king."
"What a life he and his family lead while thousands of Cubans are in extreme poverty. Down with the Castros," another declared.
