“The fact that his wife is being charged and called to testify does not constitute a conviction, but it does force Sánchez to take on his political responsibility.” This is how the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, expressed himself on Tuesday, shortly after learning that the judge Juan Carlos Peinado has called for investigation into Begoña Gómezwife of the President of the Government, on July 5, despite a Civil Guard report exonerating her and without first hearing the main witnesses.
The magistrate made the decision to summon Gómez five days before the European elections and with the only evidence of the complaint filed by the pseudo-union Clean Hands, based on seven newspaper clippings and a hoax who, among other things, claimed that Gómez had influenced the bailout of several hundred million euros to Air Europa.
“There is no precedent for companies in the La Moncloa area being investigated by Spanish and European justice. Something like this has never happened in Spain's 46 years of democracy. She will have to give the right answers before the judge, but he will have to explain and make decisions, and assume the responsibilities related to the serious events we heard about this morning,” said Feijóo, who has accused Sánchez that he has come six years. suffered against La Moncloa and said “to defend rebirth and to have killed his wife in court.”
Likewise, the opposition leader has emphasized that the president “lacks the legitimacy to address an issue of this gravity by shouting 'fachas', 'fango', 'ultras' or 'fango'.”
Feijóo closed a campaign event at the Santander Festival Palace in which four women participated to tackle family and reconciliation issues together with the PP's Cantabrian candidate for the European elections, María Luisa Peón.
For her part, the mayor of Santander, Gema Igual (PP), has assured that she is “convinced that no one today feels comfortable in the PSOE or in any of the groups that support it.” “What a shame,” he exclaimed about the judicial summons in question.
