Julián Montiel Peña became one of the most prominent figures in the media last week. This 52-year-old Mallorcan citizen assured that he was the son of the singer Manolo Escobar, who died ten years ago. In addition to presenting a physical appearance that could give him a certain resemblance, he asked for paternity tests to verify that it was true. Information that he shook the world of the heart, and that today he wanted to expand.
The person involved in this situation spoke this morning before the microphones of Europa Press, explaining how he began to suspect that the man from El Ejido could be his father. In the same way, he sent a message to the artist's daughter, Vanesa García Marx, who assured the previous week with certainty that this man was not the son of her father. "I have no doubt that this person is not my father's son, but I am not going to get into controversy, let justice rule," she said.
Montiel's response to the journalist's statements was forceful. "Let him calm down a bit, what does he say about the shame of others, I would have to be excited that I could be the son of Manolo Escobar, it would be a blessing... it had to be like that, a miracle from God for me to know all this" , he assured, reminding the press that his talents could also demonstrate his connection to the artist. According to her account, he has gifts for singing and imitation.
He also revealed that he tried to contact Vanessa, without success. "She didn't want to talk to me, she blocked me in the Manolo Escobar fan group, after she talked to her on Instagram and she blocked me. No one in the family wanted to talk to me, ”she said into the microphone. And while the nucleus close to Escobar turns its back on him, the Mallorcan is already waiting for the results of the test that will determine whether or not he is the singer's son: "I am waiting for the result of the paternity test, I think it is mine" .
Regarding the origins of possible paternity, Julián's mother hinted at the possibility, but she never confirmed it. Montiel later discovered a diary, detailing a visit by Escobar to Mallorca. "They met in the dressing room and saw each other in a hotel from September 1970 to 1972, which was when everything ended due to my mother's illness," he explained. She claimed to be having a hard time and wanted to solve the mystery, not only for him but also for his mother.
And it is that from the family that saw him grow up he did not receive positive messages about this end either. “The person who gave me the last name stopped talking to me as soon as I asked him what had happened. My mother was surprised when I asked her if Manolo Escobar was my father. In the year 72 my mother's husband found out about the extramarital relationship, ”he explained. In addition, he has a track in the song I had to lose: "I do not ask you to love me, I only ask you a favor, I give the surnames to this child of the two."
