Eva Longoria reveals why she left the ‘dystopian’ US for Spain and Mexico

Actress Eva Longoria revealed that she has long since packed her bags and left the United States.

“I’ve had my entire adult life here,” Longoria said of the US Marie Claire. “But even before the pandemic, it was changing. The atmosphere was different.”

This summer, Longoria campaigned with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. She has long been a celebrity surrogate for the Democratic Party, even speaking on the final night of the Democratic National Convention.

Now Longoria has taken her passion for American politics abroad.

She has been dividing her time between her husband José Bastón’s home country Mexico and Spain for ‘years’. Marie Claire reports. The couple has a six-year-old son named Santiago.

She told the magazine that she rarely works in Los Angeles anymore, instead taking jobs shooting in Europe and South America.

“I’m privileged,” she said. “I can escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They will be stuck in this dystopian country, and my fear and sadness are for them.”

“The shocking thing is not that he won,” Longoria said of Trump. “It’s that a convicted criminal who radiates so much hate can hold the highest office.”

America “is a scary place,” she added. “If he keeps his promises, it will be a scary place.”

Longoria is especially passionate about mobilizing Latino support, and said she has warned Democrats that Latinos were turning to Trump.

“We have been shouting from the highest roof that the Latino vote is not something to be taken for granted,” she said. “You have to earn it and win it every election cycle.”

But now Longoria doesn’t know what the future holds for the Democratic Party or the anti-Trump movement. “I would like our fight to continue,” she said.
