Andy Vázquez thanks Mike Waltz for speech on Cuba

Cuban comedian and actor Andy Vázquez publicly thanked Mike Waltz after the U.S. representative's address to the United Nations General Assembly. Waltz alleged privilege, corruption and repression among Cuba's leadership. Vázquez responded in a social-media post, highlighting what he considered the firmness of the address and its relevance to discussion of the island's political reality.

In his message, Vázquez called the diplomat's words firm, direct and real. He also said they were supported by evidence accumulated over years and described the system addressed by the remarks as a kleptocracy. Those expressions formed part of his explanation for praising the intervention. The comedian presented the speech as a denunciation of Cuban leaders and privileges he said characterized them.

Vázquez also said Cuba lacked fuel for ambulances while resources existed for police patrols and black-beret units. In his post, he associated those forces with repression of people who speak freely or take part in demonstrations. These claims were made by the artist while endorsing Waltz's address and are not presented as facts independent of the statements in his message.

Vázquez is known for playing Facundo Correcto on the program Vivir del Cuento and often addresses political reality through humor. On this occasion, his post directly supported the U.S. representative and praised his allegations before the General Assembly. The artist linked that recognition both to criticism of Cuba's leadership and to contrasts he drew between emergency-service needs and resources devoted to police forces. Waltz's address and the comedian's public reaction were the focus of his message.
