The bad weather has covered Andalusia with a blanket of rain and disappointment, forcing Seville, the heart of Spanish Holy Week, to live a few days of reflection and meditation far from its traditional processions. The impossibility of carrying out the expected marches of the brotherhoods has colored with sadness not only the anonymous devotees but also public figures who, year after year, join these manifestations of faith.
In the midst of this situation, María del Monte has managed to find a ray of light and hope. Together with her partner, the journalist Inmaculada Casal, she has experienced moments of intense emotion in Malaga, despite the persistent rain.
The presentation of the medal of the Brotherhood of Nuestro Padre Jesús Cautivo and María Santísima de la Trinidad Coronada to the couple has been a symbolic act of faith and resistance in the face of adversity, something that has become evident recently after being victims of a very media assault.
These have not been easy months for the artist. In addition to the robbery of her house, in which money and jewelry were taken, one of those involved appears to be Antonio Tejado, her nephew. For the moment, the Sevillian will remain in jail for this million-dollar robbery. In this scenario, María del Monte is clear that God helps her in these moments. “Faith fills the heart,” she wrote on Instagram.
The singer has not been able to procession as she would have liked, but she has found alternative plans to enjoy a “different Holy Week.” A good example of this is the food that she has made in good company and that she has shared on social networks with the enthusiasm that characterizes her. If she liked something about this gastronomic event, in addition to everything she ate, it is that the price was very reasonable.
Antonio Tejado, nephew of the Sevillian singer, will continue in judicial custody, as he faces serious accusations for his alleged participation in a large-scale robbery at his aunt’s residence. It is estimated that the stolen sum amounts to approximately one million euros.
The firmness of the Seville Prosecutor’s Office in this case has been clear and forceful. Despite the efforts of Fernando Velo, Tejado’s defense lawyer, to request the release of his client from the Sevilla I provisional prison, the authorities have denied any possibility of granting it. The central argument of the prosecution maintains that the evidence collected against Tejado is solid and significant, which justifies his continued detention pending trial.
