The Mexican YouTuber Luisito Comunica reappeared this Monday on his social media to explain his absence ON Instagram and explained that he spent the last 12 days in Cuba, where he faced serious connectivity limitations that prevented him from sharing content in real time.
“Good morning, I'm checking in. I hadn't posted anything in a while because I spent the last 12 days in Cuba. The internet is quite slow, many networks are limited, and uploading things from there is very difficult”, said the content creator, who has over 44 million subscribers on YouTube.
Luisito noted that his time on the island was an experience that allowed him to broaden his perspective on many issues and announced that he will begin publishing a series of reports about Cuba starting next week. “I filmed a little bit of everything. I believe it's very valuable content that will open the perspectives of many people,” he commented without going into specific details.
Luisito's announcement comes amid a significant controversy. The Cuban presenter Alex Otaola publicly accused him of evading the critical social situation facing the country. During a recent broadcast, Otaola referred to the influencer and accused him of “collaborating with a lie” by not portraying the real living conditions of the Cuban people.
Otaola also suggested that Luisito might be being blackmailed by the Cuban State Security with compromising material, which, according to the host, would explain his caution when discussing the trip.
“If you don’t tell the truth about how the Cuban people live, you will be a fraud,” Otaola warned, who launched a social media campaign under the hashtag #CubaEsUnaDictadura to pressure the YouTuber to present a complete view of his experience on the island.
Despite the controversy, Luisito Comunica has not directly responded to the criticisms nor has he confirmed whether his new content will include sensitive aspects of Cuban reality.
The visit of the YouTuber to Cuba was confirmed days ago through a video shared by Cuban actress Danay Cruz, who humorously introduced him as her "cousin." During his visit, Luisito was accompanied by his partner, Venezuelan influencer Arianny Tenorio.
With a global audience and a history of reporting that explores everything from marginalized areas to conflict contexts, the content that Luisito Comunica publishes about Cuba could have a significant impact. For now, attention remains focused on his upcoming posts and how he will tackle a complex reality that has not gone unnoticed by either his followers or Cuban creators.
