长期担任Goya食品公司总裁兼首席执行官的Bob Unanue在本周的一份新闻稿和一系列社交媒体帖子中暗示,他可能已经不再掌控这家家族企业。

Unanue表示,这家总部位于新泽西州的公司董事会对他的“就业”做出了决定。

Goya食品公司在一份声明中承认了“领导层的变化”,但未能立即对Unanue的情况作出回应。

在他的新闻稿中,Unanue表示,尽管Goya食品公司的不确定性不会让我停下宣传儿童贩卖罪恶的脚步。

他说:“我不会休息,直到在过去两年中失踪的超过325,000名儿童被找回。”

“和以往一样,我将与现任政府合作来结束这个极为盈利但纯粹邪恶的行业。我不会沉默。我不会向那些想让我放弃斗争的人屈服。我们不能成为那些冷漠无情的动物在无视儿童时的旁观者。”

Unanue提到了他在2022年创建的Goya Cares全球倡议,该倡议旨在通过宣传活动来帮助保护儿童免受贩卖、虐待和剥削。

在Unanue的周日声明中,他表示,他对Goya董事会的决定背后的原因“没有真正的答案”。

该公司在多家新闻报道中引用的声明中表示,“领导层的变化与政治或媒体出现没有任何联系。”

在2020年,Goya食品公司宣布在休斯顿以西的小镇Brookshire进行8000万美元的扩张。

当年,Unanue参与了一场白宫玫瑰园活动,宣布了一项“西班牙裔繁荣倡议”,在特朗普的第一任期内。

如NBC新闻报道,Unanue表示,“我们都真是幸运,能有像特朗普这样的领导者”,随后受到了来自拉美裔领袖的批评,如民主党国会女议员Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez和共和党策略师Ana Navarro-Cardenas。

社交媒体平台如X(前身为Twitter)上出现了#BoycottGoya和#Goyaway等标签。

尽管呼吁抵制的声音很大,康奈尔大学在2022年的一项研究发现,Goya产品的销售短暂激增,然后恢复到正常水平。

之后在2024年,Unanue再次来到休斯顿支持特朗普连任。

当时他对休斯顿公共媒体表示,他认为这种反对声是双重标准,因为他过去也曾对巴拉克·奥巴马表达过“好评”。

“我会把我的信仰放在首位,尽管我是个商人,”他当时说。“他们要求我道歉,我说,‘不,我不会道歉。’道歉之后,有时候你也会被解雇。”
