Summary
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez faces mounting political pressure as his wife, Begoña Gomez, is forced into trial over alleged misuse of influence to secure contracts — a move critics say is politically motivated persecution. Facing travel bans and mandatory court check-ins, Gomez denies wrongdoing and plans to challenge restrictions including passport surrender. Her case, fueled by far-right opposition, is part of a broader wave of corruption probes targeting Sanchez’s inner circle — though Sanchez himself remains uncharged, claiming these investigations are a coordinated effort to remove him from power. With multiple allies and even a former PM under scrutiny, Spain’s political landscape grows increasingly turbulent. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
