Eva Longoria made a radical decision. In an interview given to the magazine Marie Claire and published on November 13, the American actress revealed that she had left the United States for some time now. A “dystopian” country according to his words, even before the re-election of Donald Trump. She has definitively drawn a line under her life in California and now shares her daily life with her husband, Jose Bastonand her 6 year old son, Santiagobetween Spain and Mexico.
According to her, the situation in North America has been critical for several years already and the re-election of Donald Trump does not help anything. “Even before Covid, things were changing. The atmosphere was different. And then Covid arrived, and everything changed. Whether it’s the homeless issue or the tax issue,” she explained. Continuing: “I don’t mean to criticize California, but I feel like that chapter of my life is over now. » The star of Desperate Housewives readily recognizes his privilege: “I can flee and go elsewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They are going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness are for them,” she said.
The fight continues
Despite everything, Eva Longoria continued to be very involved in the political life of the United States. The actress, who identifies as a patriot, comes from a long line of Texans. During the summer, she showed unwavering support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign. During the Democratic National Convention on August 22, she took the stage to defend the woman she considered to be her peer. “We were raised knowing that no one would give us anything, especially as women. We knew that we were going to have to climb the ladder one by one and work very hard,” she said. Obviously, the re-election of Donald Trump is a hard blow for the actress, which distances her even further from her native land. “The shocking thing is not that Donald Trump won. It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hatred can occupy the highest office,” she conceded. However, she said she wants the fight to continue, even if the future seems uncertain and frightening to say the least.
