A few days ago, it came to light that Cándido Conde-Pumpido had been accused of an alleged group sexual assault on a Brazilian woman, who filed a complaint. After a first arrest, the authorities released him without precautionary measures.
The news has caused a lot of talk in recent days, since the investigation is still open and the accused is the ex-partner of actress Lara Dibildos. Furthermore, as some small screen programs in our country revealed, Conde-Pumpido was admitted a couple of days ago to the psychiatric area of a Madrid hospital. According to sources close to him, his admission to the medical center is due to a ''psychiatric pathology'' that has made him go to the hospital on other occasions and that may have been aggravated by media pressure.
After a few hellish days, the man returned yesterday to his house located in the Canillejas neighborhood in a somewhat peculiar way. Bundled up and without taking off his motorcycle helmet, the son of the president of the Constitutional Court posed as a delivery man to mock the journalists who were crowding at the door of his home.
''I'm a Glovo delivery person,'' he said to the perplexed look of the reporters present, who couldn't believe what they were seeing. The communicators were surprised by the businessman's 'lie' and spectacle because, until that moment, he had always given a serious and responsible image in public.
Minutes after entering the house, Conde-Pumpido came out and gave some somewhat controversial statements before the microphones of Europa Press: ''I am not going to make any statement, I would only ask you to respect the privacy of my house, at the time If you have to declare, I will declare. I am very calm. Very, very calm.''
When the journalist present at the doors of the residence asked him if he could publicly deny the Brazilian woman's accusation, Lara Dibildos' ex-boyfriend answered forcefully: ''I don't make a statement, I don't talk about my private life, neither about this nor about you are welcome. "Private life is private."
The man did answer when they asked him about his health and the reason that had led him to enter a hospital in the Madrid capital at a personal moment as delicate and difficult as that.
"I went to the emergency room due to an anxiety crisis, indeed, but nothing serious. A situation like this generates a lot of tension," he explained while asking the reporters and cameras present there to please leave.
