Israel Rojas Publicly Acknowledges Relationship with State Journalist Cristina Escobar

Israel Rojas, the Cuban musician leading the pro-regime duo Buena Fe, has publicly acknowledged his romantic involvement with Cristina Escobar, a journalist working for the state. In a recent video shared on his social media platforms, Rojas referred to Escobar as his "current partner."

In the video, which spans approximately five minutes, Rojas discusses details of his journey to Madrid and specifically mentions a photograph captured on a train ride, featuring him alongside the Cuban television presenter.

While narrating their travels in Spain, Rojas declares, "My current partner," when referencing Escobar.

This confirmation comes after images of the pair circulated on social media during their time in Madrid, where Buena Fe performed despite protests from Cuban exiles.

One of the images shared online shows Rojas and Escobar arriving in Spain's capital on a World2Fly airline flight.

Controversy Surrounding Buena Fe in Spain

Buena Fe's presence in Spain has not been without controversy. On March 6, a Cuban protester was forcibly removed from one of their concerts in Madrid after shouting anti-regime slogans and demanding the release of political prisoners.

The incident was captured on video and widely shared on social media, sparking reactions from exiled activists who had previously called for protests against the group's performance.

For years, Buena Fe, composed of Israel Rojas and Yoel Martínez, has faced criticism from Cuban exiles due to their alignment with Havana's official stance and their public support of the island's political system.
