Fidel Castro’s daughter has no love for the Cuban regime but warns against underestimating it | CNN

As with many other Cubans in their 70s, Alina Fernández’s first memory of Fidel Castro was watching his interminable speeches on television. “My generation used to pray in front of the TV for him to finish, so we would be able to watch our cartoons,” she recalled in a CNN interview Monday. “That’s the way I grew up.” Yet few other members of her generation share the second part of her memory, when Castro — whom she later learned was her father — would swing by the family home in the evening to visit his former mistress, her mother. Now, Castro’s daughter — a longtime anti-communist who lives in exile in Miami — fears that her adoptive country may be underestimating the government on the island she fled, as the Trump administration pushes for regime change in Cuba. US military action to topple the government, she warns, would bring enormous pain. “This is not the first time (Cubans have been) told that an invasion is coming immediately,” she told CNN. “We’ve been under invasion for the last 67 years, or the state of an invasion.
