Consuelo, Chelo, Garrido, mother of the Basque PP councilor Miguel Ángel Blanco, died this morning in Madrid infected by the coronavirus. The PP candidate for Lehendakari and a friend of the Carlos Iturgaiz family has confessed to being "torn" upon learning of the death of Chelo Garrido that occurs just 18 days after the death of Miguel Blanco, father of the mayor, assassination by ETA in 1997. Consuelo Garrido had to say goodbye to those closest to her husband Miguel Blanco because his death occurred on March 13 - the day before the declaration of the state of alarm - and the farewell at an intimate wake in Vitoria was attended by closest relatives and the presence of Iturgaiz, Ramón Rabanera and Iñaki Oyarzábal.

Chelo Garrido decided then to move to Madrid and there he suffered from the coronavirus for about a week. After the brutal murder of her son, Blanco's mother suffered various illnesses and during the last five days she had home medical attention for the possible spread of Covid-19. In the last hours her condition worsened and after being hospitalized in a Madrid health center this morning her death has been certified. His body will be transferred to the makeshift morgue in the sports hall of the Community of Madrid.
