Cayetano Martínez de Irujo (56) has seen the promotion of his confessional book interrupted by his twelfth surgical operation. Nine of them are related to episodes of intestinal occlusion that are usually associated with a moment of emotional intensity. During this last admission, in which, with the exception of Fernando, he did not receive visits or calls from his brothers , he took the opportunity to meditate and made the decision to distance himself from some areas and people to deepen a process of catharsis and personal liberation during which He has faced all his old traumas.

What has happened within you so that, after so many years of containment, you need to vent yourself in public in such an emotional way? I have always had the need inside. Although I have taken it out in therapies, it was not enough to cure that great pain of mine. I have done the book at the time when I had a serious offer from a good publishing house and when I was emotionally prepared, stable and brave to have no fear, no guilt, no regret. My children always told me: "You have to write a book, Dad, because your life is shocking." But I should feel prepared. Did bravery include daring to break the code of silence of a closed environment? Once again, the reaction of having broken that code of silence has fallen on me. I think it is because I have overcome all those educational limitations that my brothers also have, but I have paid a very high price, except with Fernando. Even with his sister Eugenia? This has not understood. I expected her to understand that I have the right to take out my suffering and fix my life. I have not decided to have a public life, but I have it. I am a person who is interested and has had to suffer a great injustice of judgment. Each one has to be born where they are born and suffer what they suffer. But notice that someone born where you were born is difficult to be given the victim's credential? Totally. "This guy has to be the pretty boy, he has had everything very easy." It's not like that. Living in a palace is very hard, my mother was very hard, as well as very strong and very valuable. I want to keep his memory because he is a historical character that will no longer exist. What you can't do is try to destroy everything she did. I will not allow that. But what we have lived in there has been hard. To count it is not to expose my mother, as my brothers have interpreted. It is humanize it. My mother was not perfect but with her she finished something that was values, which was the true aristocracy, the mirror of a society, discipline, rigor, having brought a heritage like that up to here. But his mother had a very special charisma. It was difficult for his brother to repeat the character. Of course. I understand that, being otherwise, you take another perspective. But don't try to forget a character, or change the direction by 180 degrees. I cannot agree with it, by principles and by conviction. What I don't understand is how the rest of my brothers are so connivent. Do you feel deprived of your mother's moral heritage? If I say that I am a moral heir of my mother, I do not want to take the position of the eldest. The one that I helped the most during five years of work in the House, is curious, and in another century I would have cut off my head. The others, who are under the protective wing of "power," have stayed while I was defenestrated. In the five or six years that I ran the House I already had a close relationship with my mother. He trusted me and then later, the last year, this was told by her husband, she was telling everyone that she had succeeded in entrusting me with the mission of passing the House to the next generation. I was proud. That's why he gave me the Duchy of Arjona. I am the closest in character to my mother. And she impregnated me with how the House had focused and where.
