The interview represented a true 180-degree turn in family history.

But he soon decided to publicly break up with his firstborn: “He has died for me“, he would say after a few days. Her youngest then positioned herself completely with her: “My mother is the best in the world. For me, she is God,” he would declare, thus generating two sides that continue to confront each other today.

Just a few days later, Ángel would grant an interview on set, in the program presented by Beatriz Archidona and Santi Acosta, in which he would elaborate on what was narrated in the recorded ‘scoop’, especially in relation to the recorded material of his mother with her romances, as well as as talking about the figure of his father. He would make an appearance for the first time in this story Ana Herminia Illáshis partner and his great support throughout this time.

His presence in Honduras, where he symbolically married Illás, reignited the conflict, since the Robinson spoke at length about his family with his companions and, although there were words that seemed to indicate that reconciliation was possible, the tension ended up breaking down. reinforce. Among other reasons, for one detail: the red bandana that Ángel Jr. wore. on his head, and which he wore “in honor” of his father. A move that his mother did not like at all, who accused him of make an “apology for an abuser”.

The month of May once again offered new developments in the plot. On the one hand, for the disciplinary expulsion of Christ from reality of survival, which meant his immediate return to Spain, and led to reactions and opinions from his mother and sister when asked about it by the press. This caused a new exchange of words, to which he responded by intervening again in ‘On Friday!’.
