The ‘good’, old socialist corruption.
The socialist Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez leads one of the most scandalous governments in Europe, and it’s getting worse.
Just imagine a head of government whose wife, brother, and all top party officials are under investigation for corruption, and whose party is sinking under multiple accusations of sexual assault.
Now, the situation has escalated further, as Sanchez’s wife Begoña Gómez is to face trial for influence peddling and bribery.
This comes as a hard blow to the premier in runup to the 2026 elections.
BBC reported:
“Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s wife, Begoña Gómez, has been charged with corruption after a two-year criminal investigation, according to a court ruling.
Gómez is accused of using her relationship to advance her private career through a position at Madrid’s Complutense University. She is also accused of using public resources to advance private interests.”
“She was charged with embezzlement, influence peddling, corruption in business dealings and misappropriation of funds, the ruling said. It is now up to the courts to decide whether she will stand trial.”
PM Sanchez dismissed the allegations as ‘an attempt by the right-wing to undermine his coalition’.
“When the investigation started, Sánchez suspended public duties for five days to ‘stop and reflect’ on whether to remain in the job due to ‘the mud’ that the right and far-right were trying to drag politics into.”
