Eva Longoria and her family flee the US, because of the "undesirable" environment after Trump's victory

Actress Eva Longoria, her husband, Mexican businessman Jose Baston, and their children fled the United States in search of a quieter life in Mexico and Spain."I've spent my entire adult life here," Longoria told Marie Claire magazine exclusively. And she added: "Even before the pandemic, everything was changing. The environment was different. And then COVID came and took it to the limit. Whether it's homelessness or taxes, it's not that I want to criticize California, but I feel like this chapter of my life is over."

In addition to these problems, the 49-year-old actress also referred to the social environment in the country, after the presidential election, as the trigger for changing her residence:

"The shocking thing is not that he won," he said of Trump's victory.

The shocking thing is that a convicted criminal who spreads so much hatred can hold the highest office. If he delivers on his promises, it will be a terrifying place

She also recalled that she felt deeply depressed in 2016 when Trump first won. During the election campaign, Longoria spent the summer volunteering to gather voters for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz. However, she could not hide her disappointment with the electoral process, the outcome of which was overwhelming for Democrats.

"I thought, 'Does my vote really matter? Does it really make a difference?'" she said. "I was so disconnected from my convictions, because I really believed in my soul that the best person would win. And then this happened and I thought, 'Oh, wait. The best person didn't win'."

The new life of the Baston-Longoria family

According to the actress, the family she formed with her husband, the high-ranking executive of the Mexican television station Televisa, Jose Baston, and their six-year-old son Santiago, will now live between Mexico and Spain. In fact, in recent years she has already spent little time in Los Angeles, as for work reasons she frequently traveled to Mexico and other countries in Europe and South America.

However, she acknowledged that she feels "privileged" to be able to leave the country.

"I can escape and travel somewhere," she said. "Most Americans aren't so lucky. They will be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them."
