Antonio Canales had a fight against Alfonso Martínez de Irujo the night of the flamenquito in Liria with Glenn Close

Glenn Close has visited Madrid to present the documentary The Lavander Scare, who criticizes the decree against homosexuals Eisenhower, President of the United States between 1953 and 1961. In that law he considered them a danger to security and ordered that if an official, male or female, was homosexual, he should be fired.

The American interpreter, considered one of the best actresses of her generation, was invited by her friend Julissa ReynosoAmerican ambassador in Madrid, and is staying at the private residence of the diplomatic legation on Calle Serrano in the Spanish capital.

They have known each other for a long time, when Reynoso, of Dominican origin, was very active, like Close, in favor of the LGTBI world. It was Reynoso who organized the meeting of the protagonist of Fatal Attraction with Queen Letizia, who, as we know, defends the rights of the collective.

the friendship of Narcís Rebollo, president of the Universal record label, with the American ambassador, led Eugenia Martinez de Irujo to organize, as we already said, a flamingo in Freedom, in a new cellar on the ground floor, recently built for wine tastings but also to accommodate parties of this type.

All of them acted for the great Glenn Close, but there was one that moved the actress to tears: Jose Merce. This has been assured by Mariola Orellana: “What a jarton of crying as it had been a long time since no one ripped that out of me! And the wonderful Glen next door crying too !! That’s art and the rest …”, she has written in the publication .

The interpreter who embodied the unforgettable pimp of dangerous friendships, The Marquise de Merteuil, in the film directed in 1988 by Stephen Frears, was delighted with the party at the Palace of the Albas on the Carrer de la Princesa, where they performed Jose Merce, Anthony Channels and other dancers.

Other friends and relatives who accompanied the Duchess of Montoro and Narcís also attended, such as his daughter Tana Rivera (without her boyfriend), Mariola Orellana, or Alfonso Martínez de Irujo and Fitz-James Stuart, Duke of Aliaga, second of the six children of Luis Martínez de Irujo and Cayetana. Carlos, the oldest, and Duke of Alba, was hunting outside of Madrid.

Everything was going fine, until Anthony Channels he began to tell Alfonso Martínez de Irujo that his mother was wonderful, remembering that she was “the duchess of the people”, and how much the aristocrat had sympathized with the flamenco world. But she brought up that her grandfather, Jacobo Fitz James Stuart, Cayetana’s father, it was not like that and that the poet Raphael Alberto he had branded him a “landowner”, “undercover fascist” and other niceties. In addition, Canales made (while at the Alba house) his own interpretation of the fire at the Liria palace in 1937, which is attributed to a bombardment by the Francoist side, although it is suspected that the militiamen who came to suffocate it razed what they could.

Jacobo Alba, close friend of Gregorio Marañón, and liberal and cultured, as the eminent doctor who helped bring Cayetana into the world, resigned as Franco’s ambassador in London in disagreements with the drift of the dictator’s government, because he understood that he would never return to the Monarchy again. Cayetana’s father had the courage to go to Franco’s office in El Pardo and tell him: “That table where you were thirsty was from the Liria palace; return it.” The grandfather of the current Duke of Alba and his brothers were one of the great supporters of Don Juan in the aid The grandmother of don Juan Carlos, the queen Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, He shared many moments with Jacobo when they lived in Lausanne (Switzerland).

That is why it is more than understandable that Alfonso Martinez de Irujo jump to defend the honor of his grandfather. The Duke of Aliaga (today the Duke of Híjar) was outraged by these comments, which turned a magnificent dinner and a fun and entertaining celebration into an unpleasant scene. Canales’ rudeness towards his hosts, who were Eugenia and ambassador Julissa Reynoso, was evident. She was at the Alba’s house.

The 60-year-old bailaor, married with children, confessed not long ago his problems with drugs and money. As he himself has admitted, he was forced to sell all his properties, due to debts and his love of gambling. According to him, tricked by a young lover named Juanjo who set him up.

It seems that Canales had managed to escape from that murky part of his life, in a way. But, judging from the sorry episode at Liria’s palace, his rudeness, and his disrespect towards his hosts’s grandfather, he’s still not ready to behave in public. Witnesses present in the palace explain that, due to the context, such hurtful and unfortunate comments were irrelevant. Luckily, our sources believe that Glenn Close and the US ambassador buried us (or hid) but Narcís Rebollo and Eugenia “it hurt a lot,” they assure us.
