Many will have once hummed the mythical song "Paco, Paco, Paco que mi Paco." In 1969, a young Encarnita Polo had unknowingly released a song that would be very present again in 2009 with the rise of YouTube videos. However, and despite having rubbed shoulders with personalities like Lola Flores, she is currently experiencing a critical situation, as El Español has revealed.
At 85 years old, the singer and actress is experiencing a real ordeal financially and personally. During the pandemic she had to move to Ávila, where she currently resides, and in recent years she has had to get rid of her two beloved cats because she could not take care of them.
If there is something he misses, it is the time in which he shone on television. And she managed to be a true diva of Spanish pop between the 60s and 70s. A success that is far away and of which she would no longer have anything left. These last few years she has been "having a very bad time." The source of the aforementioned media assures that the situation can be described as "dramatic."
"It's the first time I've seen her so bad," said those close to her. So much so, that she had to sell off her jewelry, which took so much time and effort to obtain, in order to survive. Although she currently receives a pension of 900 euros per month, it does not help her to live minimally.
Some economic problems that have already been talked about on occasion. Encarnita Polo was one of the victims in the case of Bankia's preferred companies. After this, she saw how the 70,000 euros that she had saved throughout her professional career vanished, leaving her completely bankrupt.
"I didn't know what they were, I thought it was being a VIP client and that my money was on a fixed term. Now I have lost all my savings. Suddenly I see myself with nothing, and without finery," he said for a magazine at that time. It became so extreme that the director of the pawn shop where he regularly visited called him to inform him that they could not accept any more deposits.
In one of her last public appearances in 2022, she assured Socialité that it took away her "excitement" to see that televisions only had her for free. Therefore, she decided to get away from everything, but not before participating in a special edition of First Dates, on Cuatro. Something that caught many by surprise.
And if there is something that does not accompany him in this drama, it is his health. The singer was fighting cancer that was caught in time. "I continue with check-ups and things like that. I'm not afraid. I think I've defeated the disease, but the cancer stays there, and suddenly it comes out the other way. It's very treacherous, it's like a bad boyfriend, or a bad husband," she assured La Razón.
