The world of culture is in mourning. Concha Velasco died this Saturday, December 2, at the Puerta de Hierro Hospital in Majadahonda, at the age of 84. The news was confirmed by her children, Manuel and Paco, through a statement sent to the media. The actress's family explained that her transfer occurred "as a result of a complication in her illness." The news has shocked an entire country, which says goodbye to one of the most versatile and talented artists. The truth is that there are many recognized faces who have attended the Concha funeral chapel, which took place at the Teatro de La Latina, such as the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez or Isabel Díaz Ayuso, president of the Community of Madrid. .
Precisely, the latter has been the subject of a somewhat uncomfortable moment in the place. The Socialité program was live interviewing the actress Marisa Paredes, who was asked about the memory that came to her mind with Velasco at the moment in which she learned the news of her death. Just then, the President of the Community of Madrid appeared, as someone said out loud on the live stream. "Isabel Díaz Ayuso? For God's sake, but what is she doing here? Get out," expressed the 77-year-old actress, very unhappy with Ayuso being there.
These words have spread like wildfire on social networks and the images have quickly gone viral on X, formerly Twitter. "To watch on a loop, how great," says one Internet user. "Genius and figure," said another. "It has been wonderful," can be read in another comment. "Marisa Paredes, the true queen of Spain," says another tweeter. On the other hand, many others say that this was neither the right time nor the right place to express these thoughts.
It was this Saturday morning when the news of the actress' death came to light. "We regret to inform that our mother, Concha Velasco, died today, Saturday the 2nd at 02:00 at the Puerta de Hierro Hospital in Majadahonda, having received the Holy Sacraments, as a result of a complication in her illness," the shared statement reported. by his two sons, Manuel and Francisco. The 'ye-yé girl' suffered lymphatic cancer in 2014, and after the pandemic she herself recognized that her condition had worsened.
On the other hand, the actress's family wanted to thank all the staff at the residence and the hospital where Concha has been admitted in recent years. "We have nothing but words of gratitude for the hospital staff, and the Santa Matilde and Orpea Punta Galea residences, who have taken such good care of her in these difficult times," they thanked.
"We are lucky to have enjoyed the best mother in the world and to receive the affection of so many Spaniards who love and admire her. Thank you all," they expressed. "We ask for a prayer for the eternal rest of her soul. Our family will also thank you. Her children, Manuel and Paco," the statement ended by saying. Be that as it may, Spain is in mourning... she has left us one of the most versatile and charismatic artists in the history of our country.
