Gonzalo. Visibly thinner and more tired, he also showed some disorientation or confusion. “This person is wrong, I’m not going to say what’s wrong with him because the character has to say this.

From the program Public mirrorPilar Vidal has raised the alarm, as she claims that the state of Mario Vargas Llosa It is more delicate than has been reported and his closest circle may not be acting accordingly: “I think that a person like Mario, with the money he has earned and what he has been, could be better looked after”she said. The journalist complains that she is allowed to go for walks at the middle of the day during a heat wave or that she undertakes transoceanic trips that force her to spend hours and hours on a plane: “He could be somewhere else.
