Madrid has become a refuge for exiled Cuban artists and intellectuals, providing them with a supportive community to continue their political activism against the oppressive regime in Cuba.
Maria Matienzo emphasizes her plight and crucial decision to migrate to Spain saying, 'What better place to live than where the friends of struggle are,' highlighting the importance of community in her activism.
As more Cuban artists and intellectuals settle in Madrid, fleeing political persecution, the city has seen a notable increase in its Cuban population, which now reflects a vibrant community.
Matienzo shares that the tightening of visas for the U.S. has shifted preferences for migration towards Spain, indicating a growing trend among those resisting oppression in Cuba.
