• Bonus. "I preferred to put on hair rather than go bald. I have more now than I did 20 years ago."

Since he ceased to be a public figure in the limelight, José Bono lives so happily in his town, Salobre (Albacete) . He is in the house where he was born almost 70 years ago. There he is happy. The TVE program "Lazos de Sangre" has dedicated his latest program to him. In a previous interview to the documentary, the former president of the Congress of Deputies opened up to the channel regarding the critical situation of the King Emeritus: "What I would say to King Juan Carlos is that they judge him if he should be tried. If he has received money as head of state, to return it to the state . As he himself said, justice is the same for everyone. "

During the debate, Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada , Pepe's great friend, put the humor point : "How nice it would be if Corinna came with the 65 million." Bono has not hesitated to praise the decision of King Felipe VI regarding his father: "It hurts when they talk about the Borbón family and charge against Felipe. Juan Carlos has the right as everyone to the presumption of innocence , but it is true that his son He has done something exemplary and very hard. He has taken away his father's financial allowance and has given up his inheritance. "

The only son of shopkeepers, where there was no running water or water in his house, Pepito (as his intimates knew him) forged himself. Thanks to a scholarship, he was able to study at the Jesuit novitiate in Alicante and when they gave him a roll of toilet paper, he spread it out and said: "What is this for? I thought it was to do the accounts." However, it seems that the facet of a childhood of poverty is not so certain.

According to Digital Freedom published ten years ago, the Bono family were the wealthy of Salobre, it seems that they lived quite comfortably, Bono's father drove a British car called Morris Minor and his uncle a Seat 1400 of which 2,500 had been manufactured units. What is its origin really? In all these years, he has amassed a great fortune. Last December, the company Viveros 02031924 was created for real estate development and the construction of all kinds of works that also have the function of managing their properties, which some experts value at 11 million euros.

He lost his mother at the age of 15 due to the problems of his high-risk pregnancy and at that time he decided to change his vocation from being a priest to serving the people in another way. He studied law, began working with the old professor Enrique Tierno Galván, shared an office with Cristina Almeida and Manuela Carmona , and in Madrid he met his great love, Ana Rodríguez , with whom he has four children, Amelia, Ana, José and Sofía .

"He has been my partner, my lover, my wife and my support," he admits affectionately. But in 2010, after three decades apart, they decided to separate. This anecdote explains the situation: "One day I told him, 'Ana, give me a kiss' and he replied: give it to Castilla-La Mancha." He was president of the community for five legislatures. Today, he greatly enjoys his children and, above all, his grandchildren: "I am a grandfather who consents to everything," says Bono.

The massacre of the Atocha lawyers shook democracy so much that, after that tragic historical event, José Bono considered dedicating himself to politics. His father had also been mayor (Franco) in Salobre and ended up joining the PSOE for the integrity and love he felt for his son. In 2000, Bono lost by nine votes the possibility of having become the tenant of the Moncloa. José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero took the cat to the water.

In the program a curious anecdote was discovered. When he was defense minister he decided to withdraw troops from Iraq, which George Bush did not like . In this situation, Bono wanted to be received at the White House and put thousands of obstacles, so he turned to Julio Iglesias who, in turn, called Óscar de la Renta , a great friend of the Bushes. And that's how they received him at the Pentagon. Bono called the program live and confessed that "Óscar de la Renta was very useful for Spain and Julio provided an invaluable service to our country."

The Bono family connected with the aristocracy when their daughter Amelia married Manuel Martos , son of Raphael and Natalia Figueroa , granddaughter of the Count of Romanones. He has four children, Jorge, Manuel, Gonzalo and Jaime . "He loves children," says Natalia, "and sometimes when I ask about them, they tell me that they are with Pepe in Toledo, he takes them for a weekend ..."

Her only son, José, who has postponed his wedding to Aitor for the coming year, is like his soul mate. It was not difficult for him to accept his homosexuality and he has supported him in everything. During the debate, Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada revealed something practically unknown when she commented that José Bono felt something magical about Marta Ortega , the great heir of Inditex: "What a great flick Bono would have hit," he snapped. The love for horses brought them together. Bono Jr. runs the Hípica de Toledo, a very profitable business.
