The birth of Gabriela Guillén’s son continues to bring a queue. And even more so since Bertín Osborne spoke out on the matter and stated in an interview his desire not to act as the father of that little boy. In fact, he even assured that he was going to take a paternity test.
Since these statements, the singer received numerous criticisms in this regard. But there are also those who have broken a spear in his favor. This is the case of Juan del Val, who this Sunday in La Roca came to his defense, ensuring that it seemed legitimate to him. A controversial opinion that has also raised dust.
To talk about this issue, the program with a lawyer, who explained the rights and obligations that Bertín Osborne would have if, finally and after taking the paternity test, it is confirmed that the newborn is his son. After talking about the legal part, Juan del Val explained his point of view.
Firstly, the writer put on the table the abstract concept of “acting as a parent” and gave an example: “There are many people who have parental authority, who live at home with the child, and who do not act as a parent either.” Later, he made a parallel with the right to abortion.
“It seems perfectly legitimate to me when a woman decides not to be a mother, the father has nothing to say there. That’s how it has to be. Obviously, the one who has to decide is the mother, period,” he began by saying. And he continued: “We can ethically assess whether it seems good or bad to us, but the father also has the right not to act as a father.”
Then, Del Val emphasized something important: “Evidently, what you do not have the right to do is break the law and get rid of obligations that correspond to you.” Here his partner Berni Barrachina did not agree with him: “Someone can decide not to be a father, but that is done with a condom, with a vasectomy or with chastity.”
In this regard, Juan del Val pointed out by providing another argument, blaming women for “not having taken the means” to avoid getting pregnant. “When a woman doesn’t want to be a mother, what happens? She has every right to do so and no one has to tell her: ‘Well, have taken the means,'” he said.
To conclude, the writer settled the controversy with “what Bertín has done seems completely legitimate to me, except for what the law tells you.”
