The son of Carmen Sevilla has received numerous criticisms for deciding not to open a funeral chapel after the death of his mother and so that everyone who wanted to could say goodbye to the mythical actress. Augusto Algueró, who wanted to give her mother an intimate and reduced farewell, attended the presenter’s cremation late on Wednesday and offered extensive statements to the press explaining her reasons.
“I am not famous, the famous have been my parents, I have tried to maintain anonymity and this is how I want to continue my life, I want to be respected and I would like it to be so,” he began by explaining to the cameras of Europa Press .
“These are hard times,” assured Algueró, who is the result of Carmen Sevilla’s first marriage with the composer also named Augusto Algueró. “Sometimes you get down and you start to cry like a cupcake, you have to pull yourself up because you can’t be like this all day,” she has revealed about the sad moment she is experiencing after the death of her mother.
On the small and discreet farewell to Carmen Sevilla that has surprised many, Algueró has shared how he made that decision: “What I did when my mother died is to get in touch with all the family members, those who I believe and consider they had to come, and all of us here decided to keep an evening quiet and away from the media.”
Aware of the criticism, because throughout the day he did not go to the Pozuelo de Alarcón funeral home to watch over his mother, as he explained, it was not the time that there was anyone there. “I have heard someone who has come and has seen that there was no one, well logically there was no one because it was not the time nor was it appropriate for there to be anyone,” she commented.
To finish, the son of the actress has opined that in any case any decision he had made would have generated controversy. For this reason, “I understand that criticism will always be there, no matter how you do it. If I had set up a circus, a fair or a festival, surely there would have been someone who would have said: ‘I don’t know how they would have let everyone in, that’s It’s been a circus.'”
