The shutdown was the worst possible response to the coronavirus pandemic, Goya Foods president and CEO Robert Unanue said on Friday.

Unanue said the Democrats declared ‘substantial martial law’ by ‘shutting everything down’.
“This is the worst thing we could have done. Just for political gain, I think it’s criminal, I think it’s immoral to shut down this economy for this … basic political reason,” Unanue said.
Unanue added: “We are one nation under God. We are not one nation under Twitter, we are not one nation under big media and or under essential government. We try to have media and big technological control over our lives – “The government controls our lives. We do not have to move away from God. We have to move closer to God. They want to cancel God. They want speech, cancel our speech. They want our culture, our history, our freedom.”
