Otaola's Sharp Critique of Carlos Giménez's Guantánamo Visit

Alexander Otaola, a renowned presenter, expressed strong disapproval regarding Congressman Carlos Giménez's recent trip to the Guantánamo Naval Base, criticizing it for lacking significance to the Cuban exile community. The influencer argued that the Cuban-American representative should have been accompanied by anti-communist exiles and opposition leaders to make the visit more impactful in the fight for Cuba's freedom.

Otaola emphasized that if Giménez had included Cuban exile activists in his visit, it would have resonated more powerfully. "A trip to Guantánamo should involve representatives of the exile community, anti-communists, and opposition leaders. If you want this visit to have a greater impact, it must be more than just a congressman's routine inspection of where the Aragua Train prisoners might be held," stated the influencer.

He didn't hold back in labeling Giménez as "uninspiring," likening him to a "gray man" without expression. Otaola compared him to other Cuban-American congresspeople like María Elvira Salazar and Mario Díaz-Balart, whom he views as more committed to the cause of Cuban freedom. "Giménez is like a goldfish—always the same expressionless face. You've never seen him appear happy, sad, depressed, or concerned. It's a cold demeanor," he remarked.

Offering advice to the congressman, Otaola suggested, "Organize yourself, go with a group of Cubans, take representatives, historic exiles, and opposition leaders with you. I understand the paperwork is daunting, and military base entry requirements are stringent, but do what you can as a congressman," he concluded.
