María Teresa Fernández de la Vega thought the young women with the man were his daughters.
The Deputy Prime Minister, María Teresa Fernández de la Vega, has said that she is horrified to realise that she had posed for photographs with a polygamist businessman and his three wives in Niaymey, the capital of Niger, where she is on a visit. The Deputy Prime Minister thought the women were the man’s daughters and is ‘horrified’ to learn the truth, according to a Spanish government spokesman.
The incident happened at a tiger nut factory which employs 200 women, and which she visited with the Spanish businessman Ramón Carrión, who has been setting up businesses in Niger over the past 12 years.
