2024 will not begin precisely as Juan Ortega and Carmen Otte initially planned. Not after the right-hander decided to stand up his future wife at the last minute in the church of Santiago de Jerez de la Frontera in front of 500 guests who continue to wonder what happened for such a change of heart.
A decision that apparently was very thoughtful, and that he consulted with one person: his trusted priest, Josep María Quintana. It was said that the right-hander had called the priest to ask for advice regarding his doubts, but the clergyman denied said information to the media, ensuring that he only received the call from Ortega to tell him that he was not going to get married. Now, in his second appearance before the media, the priest has not been so clear, even giving a most disconcerting message.
The 43-year-old priest reappeared before the media after being intercepted by reporters working in the vicinity of his home, having become an involuntary protagonist of the most current topic of recent days. On this occasion, however, the clergyman decided to respond with humor to his usual questions, making a peculiar statement that did not leave any of those gathered indifferent.
“I have something to tell you,” he assured, immediately drawing the attention of those present. Walking and without stopping, he continued with his unexpected statements: “Do you want me to tell you something? But no one is going to get angry, okay? Just one thing and we’ll break up, okay? I’m telling you and I’m telling you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you.” love,” he concluded, adding his now famous tagline: “Forward and circulate.”
A curious speech that left the professionals present there completely dumbfounded, who witnessed the change of attitude of the parish priest who, according to what the newspaper El Mundo reported at the time, would have been the one who advised Juan Ortega not to marry Carmen Otte because I wasn’t convinced.
Josep María Quintana is known to the media, as he was also the one who officiated the media link between Tamara Falcó and Íñigo Onieva on July 8. The priest was the confessor and guide of the Marquise of Griñón until then and it was precisely he who advised her after the controversial breakup with the now marquis to resume their relationship “despite the setbacks that arose”, after Onieva’s alleged infidelity in the frame of the Burning Man music festival held in Nevada, United States.
