The former model, actress and star María del Carmen Raquel Villanueva, better known as “Pata” Villanueva, it is found hospitalized in serious condition after suffering a domestic accident at his home in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

Sources close to the actress told THE NATION that Villanueva, 69, is hospitalized in the intensive treatment center (CTI) of the sanatorium of Cantegril. “This is very serious”, environmental assured, and detailed that ‘sand fell from the stairs of his house, in La Barra “.

The blow that Villanueva received, who has built a vast career in which there was no shortage of cinema, television and theater, allegedly caused a serious fracture, which led to his direct referral to the intensive care room at the private health center of the department of Maldonado.

In this context, her children are processing the corresponding permits so that they can travel to see their mother. Uruguay is one of the Latin American countries that, in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, has resolved to close its borders and keep them open only to Uruguayan citizens, residents or for very specific cases.

Law firm Alejandro Balbi is working to speed up the process which means approving the procedure so that Agostina Cavallero, Robertino Tarantini and Bernardita Tarantini – their children – can travel as quickly as possible.

In dialogue with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guillermo Coppola -ex-partner of Pata Villanueva- is also seeking to obtain the necessary authorization. He did so, as these media learned, after presenting a medical certificate indicating that Villanueva “is in danger of death”.

Villanueva has been in the neighboring country for about 70 days.
