Begoña Gómez surrendered her passport and will appear in court twice a month. The Socialists speak of "political persecution", while pressure on the Sánchez government is increasing due to several high-profile investigations.
Edi Rama's friends seem to be falling from power one after another and getting into trouble. After Orban left the government, it seems that the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has now sunk badly. Rama has often boasted about his friendship with him.
Begoña Gómez, Sanchez's wife, will face justice for the corruption charges against her, while a court in Madrid has decided to ban her from leaving Spanish territory.
Investigating judge Juan Carlos Peinado ordered the seizure of her passport, a ban on leaving Spain, and the obligation to appear in court twice a month, measures that signal the advancement of the case towards a more advanced procedural phase.
The case against Gómez was filed after complaints filed by organizations linked to the Spanish far right, while the ruling Socialist Party has reacted sharply to the decision.
" Begoña has been subjected to judicial and political persecution for two years. Today's development is just another step in this process ," Sánchez's party declared on the social network X.
The investigation into the prime minister's wife is just one of several files that have put the socialist government under pressure. In recent months, several important figures in the Socialist Party, including the former Minister of Transport and senior party leaders, have been involved in investigations related to suspected bribery, public contracts, the energy sector and tenders held during the Covid-19 pandemic.
All those involved have denied the allegations, while Pedro Sánchez has insisted that the investigations are being used as a political weapon by his opponents to destabilize the government.
The latest developments come at a delicate moment for the Spanish prime minister, one of the longest-serving leaders of the left in Europe, who is facing ongoing political and judicial pressure on his inner circle.
On another front, Spanish authorities are also investigating allegations involving former socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. However, Zapatero has categorically rejected the charges, denying any involvement in the activities being investigated. / Pamphlet
