The rise of Ábalos's alleged niece: nepotism or conspiracy?
Who is that cross-eyed woman who appears everywhere? On financial forums, speculation is rife that she may be a relative of José Luis Ábalos, Spain's former Socialist minister. The question runs through thread after thread: are we looking at a political favour or a New World Order campaign? Some claim she has said she wants to set up a film company without hiring white people, which has set alarm bells ringing.
A barely known figure until a few months ago, she has become omnipresent in the media and on social networks. The comments range from fierce criticism to ridicule. She is linked to Ábalos's circle, but no official data confirms it. What is clear is that her media promotion raises suspicions of collusion between politics and culture.
Meanwhile, the official narrative stays silent. There are no statements and no denials. The suspicion that political contacts pull the strings of the cultural industry is nothing new, but in this case the secrecy feeds it. With silence like this, conspiracy theories grow.
In the end, the only certainty is that an unknown woman has slipped into the agenda. And that those asking who she is get no answer. Or perhaps an uncomfortable one.
