His brother, Edén Iturrioz, is one of the 17 members of one of the murgas that participates in the carnival contest, Doña Bastardaone of the 10 that agreed to the carnival league.
This Friday, despite the pain and sadness that was in the group for what happened, the murga fulfilled the contract it had to appear on a stage. Happened after an analysis inside the murga and after Eden asked her colleagues not to cancel their presentationin order to comply with what was agreed with the stage and with the public.
The same will happen this Saturday, the day on which The murga will tour the Ciudad de la Costa stages and will perform, after midnight, at the Monumental de la Costa stage.
Eden did not go out with the murga this Friday, but maybe she will do it this Saturday, it was indicated to The Observer.
