After a big controversy caused by the broadcast of Vicente Fernandez’s bioseries and a constant request to Televisa to stop her, finally three judges put her on hold for the singer’s widow, Maria del Refugio Abarca Villaseñor, better known as “Dona Cuquita”.
The authorities have ordered that the temporary measures imposed by the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) on the TV channel continue, preventing the airing of the bioseries The Last King: Son of the People, based on the novel by Olga Nosit.
Lawyer Marco Antonio del Toro was the one who announced the measures to be taken that could not be revoked by IMPI, in addition to requiring that Vicente Fernandez’s copyright and trademark rights could not continue to be infringed.
The lawyer noted that Televisa had already been notified of this. “Televisa is challenging the action taken by the federal authorities who were notified of the broadcast of the illegal bioseries,” he said.
The suspension of the series was granted by Judge Avelina Angelica Quintero Rico, who mentioned that the broadcaster was notified of the measures on March 11. “For the time being, it must be said that this suspension was conditioned by the judge on the fact that the measures ordered by the IMPI were not carried out, but they were carried out. The measures were taken at the very moment that the visitors to IMPI notified Televisa and its subsidiaries on March 11,” he said, clarifying that they cannot ignore or provide lies.
They assure that through these measures it can be confirmed that the rights of the Fernandez family the brand will no longer be affected, which includes the reservation of artistic names and the use of the image of Vicente Fernandez, in accordance with what is mentioned in articles 27 and 28 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States.
Cuquita denies Pablo’s image as Vicente
The wife of “El Charro de Huentitan” rejected that the actor Pablo Montero was the main character of the series, in addition to not wanting to be treated due to the way the image of the musical idol was presented, he believes that the name was abused from her husband. “Pablo Montero is a good boy, but he is not the image that Vicente would have approved of,” is how Kukita put it about Vicente’s image.
Maria del Refugio also stated that she is very sad about what is going on in her late husband’s name as the tape began last October detailing that they were abusive because they thought they left her alone. “They will broadcast it now that he is gone, but if he was, he would support me. If you think I’m alone, then I’m not. Do you want to insult me? No. I have a family, the whole public that supports me. I really believe in laws,” he expressed his disagreement with the bioseries.
