Spanish Deputy Prime Minister, María Teresa Fernández de la Vega, has denied that she is a lesbian. ‘At last someone has asked me’, she told El Mundo, adding that if she was she would have no problem in saying so.
The question has arisen after an item circulating on the Internet claiming that she had married in secret with a television sports presenter. Previous reports had her married off to a doctor and another to a friend, but she remains the single woman.
She told the paper that her mother had always wanted to see her married off, but for her happiness was 'being alone on her sofa, with a little music, without having to listen to anybody, and with the phone not ringing'.
In an interview published in El País on Saturday, the Deputy Prime Minister underlined that ‘Under no condition will be return to dialogue with ETA’.
