The heartbreaking testimony of Alba Muñoz, Antonio Tejado's ex-partner: "I was afraid to leave my daughter with him"

Antonio Tejado has become one of the most unexpected protagonists of current affairs and events in Spain. María del Monte's nephew was arrested last Friday for his alleged involvement in a plot of robberies at homes in Seville, among which was the artist's. A possibility that has significantly altered the well-being of the family and its closest circles.

Among all the ramifications that are occurring as a result of the arrest of the Sevillian, one of them is an exclusive that Lecturas magazine provides starting this coming Wednesday. This is an interview with Alba Muñoz, ex-partner of the television collaborator and mother of her daughter. A few hours after its publication, the magazine's director Luis Pliego went to TardeAR to provide a preview of his words.

“The interview was on Monday. He had just entered prison. It was an hour and a half of crying, of catharsis. Alba is a still broken woman who has not recovered from that marriage. She even says inside that maybe jail could be good for him (Antonio Tejado) to get out of the way for a while. It looks like it's going to be long,” expressed the head of the publication during his speech with María Teresa Campos.

“Alba is a totally broken woman, she has not recovered from that relationship. There is part of the interview that we decided to omit due to a legal issue. She says that during the 5 years they were married, the relationship with María del Monte was rather cold. Her daughter, for years, has been in psychological treatment for the things she experienced at home. She hasn't, but she knows she should. “She knows that she has Stockholm syndrome,” the journalist added.

“I was afraid to leave our daughter with him,” were other words that can be read this Wednesday in the magazine Lecturas, in the midst of a chaotic maelstrom in which reactions and information continue to arrive in dribs and drabs. One of the most anticipated was that of María del Monte herself, who spoke this Tuesday morning before the microphones of Vamos a ver on Telecinco, after a few complicated hours.

“It is not an easy moment. I can only trust in the justice of this country. And until a judge rules, continue to rely on the presumption of innocence. I believe that our relief needs time because what has happened to us has been something very strong. We would be inhuman if we automatically replenished. We make efforts to recover and face our daily lives, work… You can have 10,000 problems, but you have to continue and work is sacred,” he said.
