That is, provide a home and support during the time that

acclimatizes to Spain, to avoid "serious damage" to the minor and since the woman has no income and the father does, confirms to this newspaper

, lawyer for the father in Italy.

"Social Services has been very clear in asking him to keep it and we oppose it. In addition, the Prosecutor's Office has appealed for the child's return to Spain, and the judges have upheld their decision. I fear that the case will remain in limbo and the child in Italy".

It is the brawl of Martínez, a 28-year-old collector of gaming machines from Córdoba, with the mother of his son, Ferrara, 22 and with no known trade, around little Gabrielle Pablo, born 11 months ago now.

With just three, last November, Ferrara took the kid unilaterally to

, in

, where she is from.

Martínez denounces him and the Hague Convention is activated, the instrument to resolve civil conflicts arising from parental kidnapping.

On May 24, the

issued its sentence: Gabrielle Pablo must return to Spain.

The Prosecutor's Office first appeals the resolution so that the child does not leave Italy, and then, "when the Italian Justice denies him the reason, it decides that the repatriation must be carried out with guarantees so that it is as smooth as possible for the minor," he says. Bardi to this newspaper.

The decision of the Prosecutor's Office crystallizes in a document dated September 16, to which this newspaper has had access, and in a conversation between Bardi and a person in charge of

.

"In it, last week, they told me that the best thing for the child is for him to travel with his mother to Spain, because he has not been with his father for many months, and that for this my client must provide a home for the mother and father. child, and then, if possible, a job for her," the lawyer tells EL MUNDO.

Martínez's refusal to accept this claim leaves the matter, says his lawyer, in deadlock.

, the father's lawyer in Spain, speaks

: "Now the only thing left for us is to ask the Central Authority of the Convention in Spain, which is the

, to urge its counterpart in Italy, which is the Italian ministry, to comply with the sentence".

The mother has even civilly registered the child in Italy with the alternate surnames: Ferrara Martínez, and not

, as stated in his Spanish birth certificate.

"But we're not going to get into that at the moment," says Adrián Martínez.

"Now what we have to achieve is that the little one comes back, then we will denounce that."

Martínez says that he worked as a flight attendant, based in Italy, when he met the mother of his son on vacation in

.

"We started our relationship and we both moved to Córdoba, we lived in my parents' house and she was supported by us at all times," he explains.

"In fact, I left my job and got the one I have now to be able to settle in Spain and raise our son well."

He continues: "Then, a month after my son was born, our relationship was so bad, so difficult, that I told him we should separate. With my parents' money we got him a flat opposite ours, and he stayed there for two months, until took the child to Italy," says the father, who fears for the woman's mental health: "She has some things diagnosed in Italy that I don't know about, and she takes some medications daily that I have seen."

The Italian Prosecutor's Office, in addition, has requested, according to Bardi, more information about the father, about his work in Spain, and has formally requested if there are pending lawsuits of some kind between the two ex-spouses in Spain, "something that", says the lawyer, "You cannot do it, because all of this has already been assessed by the Juvenile Court, which is the one that has the competence to assess where the child should go, and which has clearly said that to Spain."

The fear of both the lawyers (who are the same ones who defend

, the former partner of the Spanish Juana Rivas, convicted of parental kidnapping) and the father is that, as long as the situation is not unblocked, the child will throw roots in Italy and his repatriation to Spain is increasingly complicated.

"It's what we fear", ends Adrián Martínez.
