Lili Estefan has demonstrated her commitment to social and political causes that affect her community. The host expressed her concern about the current situation in Venezuela, highlighting the pain that her own family has experienced in Cuba. Her sensitivity to these problems led her to react to the statements of Fernando Carrillo, a soap opera actor who has expressed his support for the Nicolás Maduro regime.
“Venezuela has our hearts like this, broken, in a chain of prayer, as a Cuban tells you, since I was born in the 60s, we have only had two presidents,” Estefan said last Wednesday on ‘El Gordo y La Flaca’.
Lili’s decision to unfollow Carrillo on Instagram reflects her disapproval of his stance at such a critical time for many Venezuelans. This symbolic act also highlights the importance of the responsibility that public figures have when addressing issues of social and political relevance.
“I stopped following Fernando Carrillo. Personally, I don’t know if I should say this, first, maybe second, that I stop following someone on social media because I don’t take anything personally, my people. However, seeing him supporting me… I did, poof, ‘stop following’,” he added.
The host not only positions herself as a media figure, but as someone who gets involved and cares about the well-being of people in difficult situations, which makes her a relevant voice in the debate about the crisis in Venezuela and other countries in the region.
What did Fernando Carrillo say?
“Let’s have dinner again President TRUMP @realdonaldtrump and FIRST LADY MELANIA @melaniatrump Give me the opportunity as a PASSIONATE VENEZUELAN ARTIST to show you MY DEMOCRATIC and BEAUTIFUL VENEZUELA. ELON MUSK WTF? @elonmusksquote STOP bullying VENEZUELA my friend. Stay calm. Does my vote not count?” the Venezuelan actor began by saying.
“Why don’t you wait for the final reports from @cartercenterinc and international observers before JUDGING MY COUNTRY? Enough BULLYING!!! @nicolasmaduro with his First Lady @ciliafloresoficial won our elections fair and square. You are being a BULLY and an AH by not respecting my vote or that of millions like me. I bet in your country you also hated @nelson_mandela_oficial. What’s wrong with you ELON?” was part of the message shared on social media.
