Mavys Álvarez, the Cuban who, when she was 16 years old, had a courtship with the Argentine soccer player Diego Armando Maradona During his stay on the island, he revealed details of the athlete’s relationship with the dictator Fidel Castro.
In an interview with América TeVe , the woman related that Maradona took her to meet Fidel because he needed two things: to authorize the young-minor – his departure from the country to Argentina, to go to the tribute match that was going to be done to the soccer star as a farewell to his career, and that the Cuban government sold him a house.
“The only way to travel was with the permission of the parents being, already at least 18 years old, or through Fidel. He took me away with two objectives: one, to sell him a house in Cuba, in Havana or Varadero, and the other that allowed him to travel with him to be present at the tribute party, “he explained.
Álvarez stressed that Fidel granted him authorization to leave Cuba.
“My mother signed and supposedly my father should also have signed, but he did not lack. He gave his authorization and it was not necessary, “he added.
According to Mavys, in that meeting with Fidel at the Palacio de las Convenciones, the communist leader was interested in the future professional girl.
“We talk about everything. About how we met, we did not tell him as specifically how we met, only that in Varadero. We talked about my studies, what I was thinking of doing in the future, what school I was in, what career I wanted to take, everything, “he said.
A curious anecdote occurred when Fidel had a gesture towards the adolescent that provoked Maradona’s jealousy.
“He he puts his arm over me and tells him how he had met such a pretty girl like me. And Diego removes his arm and says: ‘well, going down, going down’, and Fidel starts to laugh. And then they started to party and talked about everything, about the ball, about soccer, they exchanged words about that, “added Mavys.
About the house that the soccer player wanted to acquire in Cuba His ex-girlfriend said that he never saw her.
“I thought they hadn’t given him the house because Diego wanted to buy it, Diego didn’t want the house as a gift. (…) Fidel told him that he was giving it to him, “he stressed.
The house in question could be the house of La Pradera, which the Ten of the Argentine team used during one of his trips for health reasons to Cuba, and that Fidel Castro ended up giving him, as revealed by Mauricio D’Alessandro, legal representative of Matías Morla, former lawyer of the late soccer star.
On Wednesday an old
Maradona’s friend publicly apologized to Mavys Álvarez , after hearing his statements and knowing that the footballer introduced her to drug use.
“It is very strong. Hearing this 20 years later, it kind of changes your vision of everything you had at that time, “he told América TeVe the businessman Omar Suárez.
“Those were other times, it was another country and one lived, out there, in a different way. And sadly, one did not realize what this woman was really going through. And that today, thank God, she can express it so that it does not happen again with any other girl in Cuba or anywhere in the world, “he added.
