Fidel Castro's Grandson, Sandro Castr,o Called Out For Lavish Life
Last Updated: Fidel Castro's grandson, Sandro Castro, who is an influencer, often shares videos and pictures of his luxury lifestyle. Cuba is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. But one man stands out from this struggle, Sandro, the grandson of the famous Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Sandro, who is an influencer, often shows off his luxury lifestyle, unlike most Cubans. On his social media, Sandro Castro was seen chilling on yachts, driving fancy cars and throwing lavish parties. Recently, Sandro posted videos to joke about power outages in Havana. The post didn't sit well with many, and Sandro Castro was criticised for his lifestyle. Who is SandroCastro? He is the son of Rebecca Arteaga and Alexis Castro Soto del Valle, one of the five children Castro had with Dalia Soto del Valle, who remained by Fidel's side until he died. He is the son of Alexis Castro Soto del Valle, one of Castro's five sons. He was raised in Punto Cero, a secure and private area. Unlike most Cubans, who lived with limited resources, Sandro grew up in luxury. Sandro is believed to be making money through his nightlife businesses like EFE and Fantaxy. Some also think he earns from his presence on Instagram and also from family owned assets, but nothing is officially confirmed. Cuba's economy is in deep trouble, as most people earn only around $16.50. Prices of general items keep going up and there are regular shortages of basic things like food, fuel and medicine. Power cuts are common, sometimes for 16 to 20 hours a day. In the middle of all this, Sandro continues to show off his fancy lifestyle. In some of his social media videos, Sandro Castro makes fun of the Cuban government and its problems. For example, he once joked about the high internet costs and also made fun of the long power cuts. In other posts, he talked about food shortages by joking there's no chicken, showed the US flag in the background and asked Donald Trump to help migrants. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sandro Castro (@sandro_castrox) In a chat with El Pais, a young Cuban named Juan Pablo Pena shared his view on Sandro. He feels that Fidel Castro grandson is not an unusual case, but actually a clear example of what the system has created. According to him, Sandro represents a group of people who took over power while using words like fairness and justice. But instead of helping others, they used that language to protect their own position and pass on their power like a family legacy. top videos View all 'The dictator's grandson turned influencer is the terminal stage of a narrative that once promised to be redemptive and ended up being parasitic. Sandro is not just privileged — he's a grotesque satire of Castroism. Sandro is the product of a social experiment that failed, but refuses to die," Juan said. Those who are against the government say Sandro Castro is making fun of ordinary Cubans by showing off his rich lifestyle. At the same time, people who support the government feel that he is not living like the Castro family should. tags : Fidel Castro viral news view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: July 22, 2025, 17:02 IST News viral Fidel Castro's Grandson, Sandro Castr,o Called Out For Lavish Life Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Barcelona agree €44m sponsorship deal with Democratic Republic of Congo
Barcelona are desperately trying to raise funds to be able to make their return to La Liga's 1:1 rule, and as such, be able to register new signings. They have sold players in recent weeks, but more is needed to ensure that Joan Garcia and other possible arrivals will be able to play without any problems during the 2025-26 campaign. In this regard, sponsorship deals are crucial, and earlier this week, it emerges that Barcelona were in talks with the tourism board of the Democratic Republic of Congo over a deal that would see the country's name emblazed on the club's official apparel. And this deal now looks to have been sealed, with MD reporting that an agreement between Barcelona and the African nation's tourism board is in its final stages. Image via Alberto Estevez / EFE Agreement would be worth €11m per season As per the report, Barcelona would receive a total of €44m from the sponsorship deal, with will run for four seasons. DR Congo, who have already signed a similar agreement with Ansu Fati's new side AS Monaco, will be displayed on the back of the club's training kit. The sponsorship avenue is one that Barcelona have not overly explored in recent months, but it is effective. The money generated from this deal, should it be finalised in the coming days/weeks, will certainly aid the club's bid to return to the 1:1 rule, which they hope to do in early August. The focus now is to keep generating funds via player sales. The likes of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen and Pau Victor are prime candidates to leave before the end of the summer transfer window, although any exit is not imminent. The pressure is on sporting director to get things done in the coming weeks, otherwise Barcelona could be in a precarious position.

Spanish town subjected to riots as violence escalates between far-right groups and North African migrants
A small town in south-east Spain has erupted into chaos as violent clashes continue to unfold between far-right groups and North African migrants. Violent clashes continue in escalate in Torre Pacheco between far-right groups and North African migrants, leaving local residents afraid. The small town in south-east Spain has been subjected to unrest since Saturday, after videos posted on social media showed men dressed in clothes bearing far-right symbols and migrants carrying Moroccan flags hurling objects at each other. Since then, there have been three nights of unrest. Spain's Vox party has been accused of starting 'hate crimes". Police have now arrested 10 people in what's been one of the country's worst spates of violence in recent times. Several dozen youths hurled glass bottles and other objects at riot police on Sunday night, as officers fired rubber bullets to quell the unrest. The violence was sparked by an attack on a man in his late 60s. Domingo Tomás was left bloodied, and two Moroccans were arrested for their suspected role in the attack on him. — (@okdiario) July 14, 2025 A third suspect in the attack on Mr Tomás was later arrested in the northern Basque Country, while planning to flee across the border by train to France, the state news agency EFE reported. "He threw me to the ground and hit me. It all happened very quickly. I think they hit me and then left," said Domingo Tomás. The violence has terrified the local community since. 'The majority of (the rioters) are not from Torre Pacheco,' said Mariola Guevara Cava, the central government's representative in the Murcia region. "I ask the migrant community not to leave their homes and not to confront rioters, because confrontation achieves nothing and ultimately makes us all afraid," local mayor Pedro Angel Roca told national broadcaster TVE. Migrants, many of them second-generation, make up about a third of Torre Pacheco's population of about 40,000. Speaking to radio station Cadena Ser, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska attributed the violence to anti-immigration rhetoric from far-right groups and political parties such as Vox, which he said unjustifiably links immigration to crime. The violence in Torre Pacheco was organised and fomented on social media, the minister added. Vox leader Santiago Abascal denied any responsibility for the incidents and said the government's migration policies were to blame. - with Reuters

Rabat – A strong earthquake struck early Monday morning off the coast of Almería, southern Spain, sending tremors across the western Mediterranean that were distinctly felt in northern Morocco. According to the Spanish news agency EFE , the earthquake , which measured 5.5 on the Richter scale, occurred at 7:13 a.m. local time, with its epicenter located approximately 32 kilometers off the Almería coast, at a shallow depth of about 2 kilometers below the seabed.

In Morocco, residents of Tangier, Tetouan, Al Hoceima, Nador, and the occupied cities of Ceuta and Melilla reported feeling noticeable tremors. Nasser Jabour, director of Morocco's National Institute of Geophysics, confirmed that the seismic waves were strong enough to reach the Moroccan Mediterranean coastline, although no casualties or property damage were reported in either Morocco or Spain as of the time of writing. Jabour explained that the magnitude of this earthquake is considered moderate, noting that preliminary estimates indicate its impact on the Moroccan side was at level three to four on the European intensity scale. Authorities in Spain have called for calm among residents and visitors, stressing that the situation remains under control. Monitoring teams are maintaining vigilance for any possible aftershocks. Although Spain is not as seismically active as countries along major fault lines, its southern and eastern regions do experience periodic earthquake activity, sometimes strong enough to be felt widely.
