Listen to the story

Silvia Bronchalo, the mother of Daniel Sancho, gave a live television interview on the Spanish programme '¡De Viernes!', in which she addressed the current state of her relationship with her son.

She revealed that she has had no contact with Daniel since April, adding that even though he is in prison, he refuses to engage in any conversation about why he distanced himself from her.

Bronchalo did not elaborate on the specific circumstances that led to the breakdown in communication, leaving many questions about the family's situation unanswered.

The broadcast also touched on Rodolfo Sancho, Daniel's father, who is reportedly weighing whether to pursue legal action against Bronchalo.

According to the programme, Rodolfo has maintained a notably cold and reserved stance while he considers this decision, though no final outcome has been confirmed.

In an emotional segment of the interview, Bronchalo also spoke about Edwin Arrieta, becoming visibly distressed and breaking down as she recalled him.

The show framed her reaction as one of the most striking moments of the appearance, although it offered no additional context regarding Arrieta's connection to the ongoing family situation.

The interview, broadcast live, gave audiences direct insight into Bronchalo's current circumstances, highlighting the strained relationships within the family and the uncertainty surrounding possible legal developments.

No further statements from Daniel Sancho or Rodolfo Sancho were included in the reported coverage, leaving their perspectives on the matter unclear at this time.
