Eva Longoria says her family no longer lives in 'dystopian' US

Eva Longoria, the well-known actress from the hit show Desperate Housewives, has made a significant announcement regarding her family's living situation. In a recent interview with the French magazine Marie Claire, she revealed that her family has decided to leave the United States and is now spending time between Mexico and Spain. Longoria explained that this decision was influenced by what she described as the 'changing vibe' in the U. S. following the Covid-19 pandemic. She expressed concerns about issues such as homelessness and high taxes in California, as well as the re-election of Donald Trump, which has left her feeling uneasy about the future. Longoria stated, 'Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country,' highlighting her awareness of the struggles many people face in America today. Beyond her acting career, Eva Longoria is recognized as a powerful advocate for women and Latino representation in politics. She has been actively involved in supporting Democratic candidates since at least 2012, using her platform to raise awareness about important issues, particularly immigration policy. Longoria has spoken at the Democratic National Convention and has campaigned for various candidates, including Kamala Harris, during her presidential run. In fact, she cleverly adapted Barack Obama's famous slogan 'Yes, we can' into Spanish, saying 'Si se puede,' to promote Harris's campaign. In her interview, Longoria expressed her disappointment over Trump's victory against Harris in the recent election. She remarked, 'If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place,' indicating her fears about the potential consequences of his leadership. Longoria also reflected on how Trump's win in 2016 shattered her belief that 'the best person wins' in politics. She shared her feelings about Los Angeles, saying, 'I had my whole adult life here,' and noted that it feels like a chapter in her life is coming to an end. Longoria, who is a ninth-generation Texan, moved to California in her twenties and has since built a successful career in Hollywood. In addition to her acting work, she has recently hosted a mini-series on CNN called Searching for Mexico and Searching for Spain. Longoria is married to José 'Pepe' Bastón, the president of a major Mexican broadcasting company, Televisa. Together, they have a six-year-old son named Santiago, and Bastón has three children from a previous marriage.
