The appearance of a new statue in memory of Chiquito de la Calzada continues to give something to talk about. a few days ago, Loli Arjonaniece and universal heir of the remembered artist, broke her silence and revealed that the comedian had a last wish, a hidden statue that he wanted to install in Malaga.
The comedian, who died seven years ago, would have left that request to his niece, according to Loli’s story in And now Sonsoles. “I think we have paid for it to be put onthat now there is a streetlight and he wanted to be there, in the Chinitas passage,” he said on the Antena 3 program.
Currently, and since December 2021, There is already a statue in honor of the comedian, an initiative of the Spanish Humor Association of which his niece was not part, since this was not Chiquito’s great dream. “From the first hour that statue was managed (referring to the hidden one), but then came the other. I appreciate it, but I don’t… I’m not going to talk about that statue.“, he indicated, completely distancing himself from that initiative.
Now the turn is for the comedians, who have responded to Chiquito’s niece. Tony Anthony He claims not to know anything about the existence of this new statue: “I love that the more a colleague is recognized, the better. The thing is that we were the first. I hope they make him not one monument, but three or four, But one is fine for me.”
For its part, Millan Salcedo He says: “If she doesn’t like it, then she can put up with it. Maybe what she’s asking for is that they put up a statue of her.” “I don’t want to get into controversy but it seems that there is no good understanding within Chiquito’s family, unfortunately,” he says, for his part.
