Overview

• Sandro Castro has amassed over 120,000 Instagram followers by posting reels of luxury cars, private jets and club parties.
• His posts feature cat filters, Cristal beer, sensual dances and caricatural peace speeches with a dove, diverging sharply from his grandfather’s revolutionary image.
• Critics from his own family, including uncle Alex Castro and state intellectual Ernesto Limia, have publicly denounced his behavior.
• Many Cubans view him as a potent symbol of the Revolution’s decline and accuse him of embodying systemic inequality.
• Despite growing controversy and Cuba’s ongoing shortages of electricity, medicine and fuel, President Díaz-Canel’s government has taken no action to curb his online activity.
