The war seems to have no end between the children of the Duchess of Alba. The economic disagreement that has haunted the family for years, since Cayetano Martínez de Irujo requested a million-dollar loan that needed the approval of all his brothers for a matter related to the construction of a reservoir; seems to have separated the Albas forever, with Eugenia Martínez de Irujo ensuring that they prefer “not to speak” or answer her wayward brother so as not to raise unnecessary controversies.
However, Cayetano does talk, a lot. More so since the Seville Prosecutor’s Office has accused his sister Eugenia of committing an alleged crime against the environment for “illegal removal in the waters of Doñana.” The Count of Salvatierra could not help but, very angry, react to this situation, asking his brothers “to speak up” and “show their faces” about the issue of the wells that have them facing each other.
“Let them speak, let them show their faces. If they know what they are talking about. Let them speak and let them show their faces, because in life you have to show your face,” he said very angrily, in statements issued in TardeAR, who could speak. exclusively with the little son of the Duchess of Alba.
“Now what, Eugenia and Alfonso? Now what? Now what happens to our wells?” he asked himself. “Now what?! That’s my question. Now what?… let her speak. Doesn’t she say that they don’t speak? They don’t speak because…? Well, let them speak now. Let them show their faces… Let them show their faces!” face and let them talk!”
The aristocrat also wondered, ironically, about the consequences they would have to face if the Prosecutor’s Office imposed a fine on them.
“Now I ask them: And now what happens? And now what happens with our wells? Because, of course… the fine!” he pointed out, visibly upset. “If the prosecutor’s office asks for a bond and seals our wells, I imagine they will put it up… Right now it is unpredictable what can happen. She is defending herself, but things are very screwed up,” the duke concluded.
This war between brothers does not seem to have an end, and things seem to be getting worse at times, with the aforementioned Eugenia and Alfonso Martínez de Irujo being the ones who seem to have the most conflicts with their brother, seeing that they have been the only ones who have given a “negative” public response to Cayetano.
Not so the current Duke of Alba, Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, who came out in the face of the confrontation between his younger brothers trying to distance himself from the family war a few days ago and ensuring that he was “very well with everyone” and that he will do whatever it takes as head of the house of Alba so that the family unity prevails above all.
