The new Caliph of Bullfighting maintains a good relationship with Mari Ángeles, born from an extramarital affair 54 years ago. As it happened with Manuel DiazBenítez, who turns 87 in May, took many years to recognize Mari Angeles Raigon Carreras like blood of his blood. It was in 2017 when father and daughter began a relationship that has been maintained over time.
Now, she has stated that she is looking forward to meeting her brother Manuel, and the father of both picks up the baton and looks for a date for the three to meet at a family meal in the Cordovan capital.
Ironically, years ago, Mari Ángeles described Manuel Díaz as arrogant, implying that he showed no interest in meeting her. But things have changed a lot and Benítez’s illusion is to promote that long-awaited union.
It was in May 2000 when the Provincial Court of Córdoba ratified Mari Ángeles as the daughter of the right-hander from Palma del Río. The Chamber considered that the filial relationship between the two had been perfectly proven, thanks to the evidence provided by this woman; among them, letters and photographs of the bullfighter with his mother. The judge established the right to use the surnames and alimony of fifty thousand pesetas per month (300 euros).
But it was necessary to wait 17 years for the meeting between the two to take place. The same thing that has happened with Manuel Díaz, much of the blame for Benítez forgetting past quarrels and accepting his two children into the family rests with his current girlfriend, Mari Ángeles, a woman whom Díaz has described as an angel in the earth.
