The table of the Madrid Assembly, in which the PP of Isabel Díaz Ayus In the last session of the commission that investigates the alleged favor of favor received by his wife, Begoña Gómez, by the Complutense University (UCM). Although the advisory body has already ruled preceding that the members of the central government are not obliged to go to regional parliaments, right -wing formations justify their request by introducing a nuance: Sánchez, they argue, would not appear as president, but as a husband of Gómez A plot pirouette to which the PP and Vox grab themselves like a burning nail to keep an investigation alive that has not provided draft news, and of which.
“The table has approved to request the State Council if Pedro Sánchez is obliged to appear as a husband, but the request will be written by legal services,” said a spokesman for the Assembly after a consultation of this newspaper. “The formal application will be made by the Community of Madrid, because that is the route by which it is processed, and will be made urgency.”
The State Council has the obligation to rule within 15 days from the entry into the request of the petition, according to Vox. As only one session remains with appearances of the commission, which will be held this Wednesday, the extreme right -wing party claims that the calendar be extended, so that it will give time the advisory body resolved, or that other appearing parties can be convened , as the businessman
The PP and Vox maneuver, in any case, has caused stupor in the PSOE. First, because the conservative party itself has rejected in the past that they can appear in the Assembly delegates of the Government of its acronym precisely for representing the Central Executive. Second, because the State Council has already rejected that the members of the Government of Mariano Rajoy were forced to appear in a commission of the Parliament on the application of article 155 in Catalonia, with the same argument: the central executive is only inspected by Congress and The Senate. And third, because the call that has already been sent to the Moncloa for February 19 collects black over white that is cited to Sánchez as president of the Government.
“As president of the Government of Spain and the husband of the co -director of the Extraordinary Chair of Competitive Social Transformation of the Complutense University of Madrid,” reads textually in the application.
“They have admitted to requesting the opinion following a Vox request that says textually that Sánchez is asked his appearance as a husband of Begoña Gómez, when the request for appearance that has been sent to the Moncloa for February 19 It is the one that wrote the PP, and that is done, indissolubly, in its capacity as president and husband, ”says a knowledgeable source of what happened. “Ossorio says that the precedents refer to the presidents do not have to appear,” he adds. “It’s tremendous barbarity.”
Gómez, when Sanchez was not yet secretary of the PSOE, as director of a fund collection course. When Sanchez already led the socialists, that course evolved to a master’s degree. At that time, he put himself in front of another: the master of competitive social transformation. Gómez’s professional relationship with the educational center ended in 2024, when the university canceled as the wife of Sánchez taught.
The PP, which enjoys an absolute majority in the Assembly, promoted this commission in summer with the excuse that the case that affects Gómez, also investigated judicially, corruption in business, intrusion and undue appropriation in his work at the UCM, affected to the prestige of the educational center.
However, parliamentary investigation languishes since Gomez appeared in the commission in November, hosting his right not to declare. In fact, that same day, the rector of this university, Joaquín on the creation of the Competitive Social Transformation Chair given by Gómez (“everything was absolutely legal and regular”); He denied any favor treatment (“Of course not (…) there was no pressure”); And Gómez’s works of any influence of President Sánchez disnunculated.
For his part, the Vice Chancellor for Planning, Coordination and Institutional Relations, José María Coello de Portugal, was also overwhelming when he was summoned to the Assembly: “There is no doubt about legality,” he said during his appearance in the commission on organized studies By Gomez in the UCM.
And this Wednesday, José Antonio Martínez Aguilar, as Director General of Making Science Group, said that “the project was developed as any development project of (…) was one more project.”
