Spain, corruption investigation into Prime Minister Sanchez’s wife. You’re in a storm, are you resigning? – The weather
Storm and chaos in Spain. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has canceled his public agenda and is considering whether to resign because his wife, Begona Gòmez, has been investigated for corruption and influence peddling crimes. The political leader will communicate his decision next Monday, April 29th. The shock announcement came with an open letter to citizens that the prime minister made public a few hours after a Madrid court had opened an investigation against his wife, following the complaint from an organization called Manos Limpias. According to El Confidencial, investigators are investigating Gòmez’s ties to several private companies that have received government funding or won public contracts. An investigation is linked to the alleged links that Gòmez – who does not hold public office and keeps a low profile – had with a Spanish tourism group, Globalia, which owns Air Europa. Gòmez reportedly met twice with Javier Hidalgo, Globalia’s CEO at the time, when the carrier was in negotiations with the government for a huge bailout following the collapse of air traffic due to the Covid-19 crisis. In particular, Gòmez allegedly met privately with Javier Hidalgo, the CEO of the tourism holding, before the Sànchez government granted the Hidalgo family’s airline, Air Europa, a bailout of 475 million euros. According to El Confidencial, Sànchez participated in the Council of Ministers which authorized the release of the money.
The prime minister regretted the “unprecedented” attack on his wife, asked himself whether it was worth continuing and added that he needed to “stop and reflect” with his wife. «I urgently need to answer the question of whether it is worth it, despite the quagmire into which the right and far right intend to transform politics. Whether to continue leading the government or resign from this high honor,” Sanchez said. «I’m not naive. I know well that they accuse Begona not because she has done s
