A pythonisa of Girona presents a claim to claim the paternity of Dalí

I preferred to walk naked girls tied to a leash to go with a baby's cart. Salvador Dalí lived the crazy life, given to provocation, art and his wife, Gala. A life that did not fit a child. Something that could change if it admits to process the lawsuit filed by Pilar Abel (59), a woman who claims to be the daughter of the genius of the Empordà. And to prove it, he asks that they exhume the corpse of the painter .

Known in Girona, Abel had never decided to take legal action against the painter and his heirs (the Gala Dalí Foundation), until Thursday, which filed the paternity suit in the Madrid courts. His lawyer is curiously Francesc Well, the same representing the waiter Albert Solá in his unsuccessful paternity suit against King Juan Carlos I .

The alleged daughter of Dalí, an astrologer and tarotist (he wrote the letters in a program in the Televisió de Girona), already underwent several tests of DNA in 2007 and 2008, according to she affirms . At that time he made the comparison with the remains of the painter who, says Abel, were in some hospitals where Dalí was admitted. Then it had the help of the family of the friend and biographer of Dalí Robert Descharnes. His son, Nicholas, helps Abel after hearing his story. But the pythoness says that she was never given the results, which she attributes to being right. However, Nicolás denied that the results were positive.

Exhumation

Before these doubts, now asks the exhumation of the corpse. Already in 2007 threatened to ask for the exhumation of the body of Dalí although it has not been until this past Thursday that the woman has filed lawsuit.

His arguments are based on the fact that his mother worked as a maid in the house of friends of the Dalí in Cadaqués, which took advantage of the painting to have relations with her. The mother, says Abel, always told her that her father was Dali, something that came before some friends, even.

"I just miss the mustache," Abel said on occasion to refer to his physical resemblance to the artist. He even came to pose with 'surreal' gestures to prove that he is the painter's daughter.

It is not the first legal battle that the Pythias undertake against a famous. In 2005 he sued the writer Javier Cercas because he felt alluded to and insulted in his novel 'Soldados de Salamina'. For this reason, he claimed an indemnity of 700,000 euros, but the court of Girona closed the complaint.
