Alina Fernández Revuelta fled Cuba back in 1993 for the United States, where she settled in Miami. Even though, as the daughter of the Communist dictator, she grew up as part of the elite in post-revolutionary Cuba, she quickly began to realize how unjust the system was. In a new interview with The Epoch Times, Fernández shared her perspective as Castro’s daughter, a Cuban refugee, and a freedom lover, as the Trump administration continues to endorse regime change in Cuba.
Fernández stated, "For me, it’s been time for a regime change since the late ’80s." She added, "At the time Fidel Castro died, we were all thinking [his regime] had come to an end, because it was a very personalized and paternalist... narcissistic government... But it survived."
Epoch Times showed a picture of Fernández with Castro at her wedding in 1973, but her connection to her father was not as warm as that photo might imply. "I became a dissident, I mean, publicly... in the late ’80s. So I was scared. I was afraid for my daughter, that something might happen to her," Fernández said.
