Editorial.- The Cuban journalist and writer Ismael Cala surprised everyone by revealing that he would like to become president of Cuba in the future, provided that the island achieves a transition to democracy.
The statement was made during a conversation with Peruvian politician Keiko Fujimori on the podcast The Abundance Revolution, where the communicator even asked her to be his mentor to prepare him for a potential political leadership.
“I feel that if Cuba becomes a free country, I would like to contribute to that country and I would like you to train me to be a good president of Cuba,” expressed Cala.
The communicator clarified that this is not an immediate project, but rather a long-term aspiration.
“I am thinking about 20 or 30 years from now, not right now,” he stated.
“I never thought about politics, but a young man wrote me a letter… It made me cry because he was the one who planted the seed in me. I hope you become the president of Cuba,” he recalled.
For her part, Keiko Fujimori supported the journalist’s words and considered that she could take on that challenge in the future because she possesses very strong leadership.
