Carmen Sevilla’s son defends himself from criticism: “If he had set up a circus, there would have been too”

The son of carmen sevilla, Augusto Algueró, has received criticism in recent hours for choosing a totally intimate and private farewell for his mother, which was only attended by his closest people. Far from other folkloric and other great figures of Spanish culture, the artist did not have a funeral chapel or public tribute before being cremated, in the strictest privacy, this Wednesday, June 28, at the Pozuelo de Alarcón funeral home.

Friends like Rappel y Tino Fernandez, whoever was his driver, were outraged on Telecinco. “This is not the farewell she wanted,” they lamented.

Now, Augusto himself has attended to the press at this very hard time in his life and has defended himself against the criticism received: “If he had set up a circus, there would have been too”. Along the same lines, he has revealed who was present at the funeral home: “Very few, solely and exclusively direct family, with blood ties to my mother, except for two people who have cared for my mother in recent years, who They are Angelines and Alejandra”.

On the other hand, he has also appreciated the support received: “To thank my family, my mother, and me for the respect and expressions of affection that we have received.” The last few hours have been difficult for the family: “These are hard times, and sometimes you get down, which is what happened to me, and you start crying like a cupcake, but you have to push yourself up.”

The great Carmen Sevilla suffered from Alzheimer’s since 2009 and since 2015 she has been admitted to a geriatric residence in Madrid: “For a decade I have already cried all the tears that I had to cry for all the moments that I have lived with her, very painful, complicated , but also very adorable because he knew he was helping her. And that’s what all children have to do: help their mothers,” explained Augusto, who also issued a statement to the press this Wednesday explaining how “long and painful” that had been the process and illness of his mother, who passed away at the age of 92.

Augusto Algueró is the artist’s only son, the result of her first marriage to the famous composer of the same name. The actress, after her health worsened, was transferred from the Orpea Aravaca residence to the Jiménez Díaz Foundation last Sunday and she finally died on Tuesday, at the age of 92.
