“I haven’t missed anyone”

Amid great anticipation, Mayte Zaldívar left the San Bernabé funeral home in Marbella at 7pm, where the remains of Julián Muñoz rest before being cremated on Wednesday morning in another funeral home. “I respect you and you respect me. Thank you for your work and all the time you have been waiting”Zaldívar said before the crowd of media gathered.

Asked by Isabel Pantoja, she spoke up: “I haven’t missed anyone”. He has spoken about how he feels in these difficult times for the family: “I’m very tired, I’m exhausted”And she has assured that she will remember her husband “as it deserves, with much love”.

Zaldívar, who remarried Muñoz in January, has been surrounded by family and friends like Rappel at the funeral home. Grief has invaded the place, where the former mayor’s two daughters (Elia and Eloísa) have also received the support of their loved ones and friends.

Fran Redondo, Julián’s grandson who has been on television sets in recent weeks, has also been very affected, although he has found the strength to be one of the main supports for his grandmother; his mother, Eloísa; and his aunt.

The former councillor of Marbella suffered from a “galloping” lung cancer, as he himself described it, in the last months of his life. The last few years were marked by the deterioration of his health.

“I knew I had a tumor because I have been a smoker for 60 years. The tumor was detected because I fell, fell again and broke the fourth lumbar vertebra. From there, they did X-rays and several tests, and a lung tumor was detected. It was detected in January with an expiration date, but we don’t know what,” he himself explained in the interview he gave to From Friday a couple of weeks ago. This Wednesday, Telecinco will also broadcast a posthumous interview with Isabel Pantoja’s ex conducted by Santi Acosta.

In January he remarried Mayte Zaldívar, despite the fact that she had been in a relationship with another man, Fernando Marcos, for years.
