Eva Longoria reveals why she left ‘Dystopian’ USA for Spain and Mexico

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

“I had my whole adult life here,” Longoria said of the United States Marie Claire. “But even before (the pandemic) it was changing. The mood was different.”

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

Now Longoria has taken her passion for American politics outside the country.

She has been dividing her time between her husband José Bastón’s native Mexico, as well as Spain, “for years now.” Marie Claire reports. The couple have 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’m going to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.”

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

America “is a scary place,” she added. “If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place.”

Longoria is particularly passionate about mobilizing Latino support and said she has warned Democrats that Latinos were turning against Trump.

“We’ve been screaming from the highest rooftops that the Latino vote is not something to take 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’d like to think our fight will continue,” she said.
