The news that the wife of the President of the Government Pedro Sánchez, Begoña Gómezhas been summoned to testify as being investigated on July 5, has shaken the campaign for the european elections. Three days before the electoral campaign concludes, both PP and PSOE are exchanging accusations trying to mobilize their voters.

From the Government, the socialists are trying to turn the meeting on June 9 into a plebiscite on the innocence of Begoña Gómez. The PSOE directly accuses the judge of interfering in the electoral campaign by supporting a “coarse” montage of the right and the extreme right. Sources from La Moncloa to laSexta assure that Sánchez is very upset with Judge Peinado’s decision to make known this decision about his wife in the middle of the electoral campaign. They also warn that the magistrate has ignored the UCO report that he sees no evidence of a crime and that the judge has not even taken statements from the witnesses yet.

While, The PP demands “political responsibilities” to the president of the Government. They believe that the President of the Government should stop publishing “canned letters” and appear at a press conference with “unlimited questions.” “In the face of unprecedented scandals like this, in democracy you don’t write letters, but you show your face,” they add from the PP in conversation with laSexta. “The President of the Government must give explanations to the Spanish people for facts that are neither ethical nor aesthetic,” they consider, adding that Sánchez intends to “overlook very serious accusations about which he has not said anything.”
