For surreal news that he gives us on more than one occasion Isabel Pantoja. For her 50 years in music, the most famous tonadillera in the world has an appointment that she is waiting like May water: nothing more and nothing less than an audience with the Pope Francisco. “Wonderful,” she would say.
“She will meet with Pope Francis whenever she wantssince the appointment has been accepted and the protocol has been accepted since last year,” Antonio Rossi announced this Tuesday in We'll see, to the astonishment of his co-stars. It is not for less.
Her audience with the pontiff has been delayed because between whistles and flutes the setbacks shook the folklore's life: “She couldn't for health reasons and the tour, but They have maintained the commitment from the Vatican and are waiting for the day to be chosen. She will be the one who chooses it. They give her a kind of summons,” the journalist explained.
The mother of Kiko Rivera and Isa Pantoja, faithful devotee, is overjoyed: “I know she is excited and wishes it had been last yearbut they maintain the protocol and the audience is waiting for her to decide to go to Rome,” he insisted.
Alessandro Lequio has intervened, detracting from Kiko Rivera's mother: “The Pope grants an audience to many people. The Pope has always received many people”. The Italian has also questioned whether she is the one who has to arrange the hearing, and not the Pope of Rome.
Rossi has insisted that by protocol it is like this: “They have given her options and she is the one who has to choose within the options. She has been given a range of options and possibilities and she is the one who has to choose. He couldn't go last year and they have continued to open the possibility to him. They give you a kind of code and password, you log in and see the available appointments. It is she who has to choose the day. She is a general audience, like any other singer. Then he approaches the Pope and has a few words with her, like many other singers, like Carlos Rivera.”
Lequio has continued erre with erre: “So much devotion to the Virgin could help you understand that a mother gives everything for her children”. And she said it with Isa Pi present who, very polite as usual, stated: “It is good to clarify that the Pope has audiences with other artists. She is a very believer and I'm sure she is very excited. I'm very happy that I'm going to have that hearing. And that he takes advantage of tourism in Rome, I think he has never been there.”
