  • Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has been summoned to testify as a suspect in alleged corruption and influence peddling crimes.
  • The summons was made public in the midst of the European election campaign, a decision of great political significance.
  • The judge has summoned Gómez before collecting the statements of several witnesses, suggesting the investigation is not necessarily advanced.
  • Despite a report indicating the non-existence of criminal indications, the investigation proceeds based on a complaint made by the ultra pseudo-union Manos Limpias.
  • The judicial history of Manos Limpias, known for its filing of lawsuits against progressive profiles, raises questions about the legitimacy of the investigation.
  • President Sánchez has criticized the summons of his wife in the middle of an election campaign, meanwhile the PP has claimed that Sánchez should resign due to the immorality of the facts.

Conclusion: Despite the peculiarities and political tensions present in this situation, it is necessary to wait for justice to carry out its work and clarify the facts.
