Miguel Ángel García Martín, the counselor for the Presidency, Justice, and Local Administration of the Community, has voiced concerns about the situation surrounding the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez. This comes after a judge summoned Begoña Gómez, Sánchez’s wife, to testify regarding her business dealings on July 30.
In a statement to journalists during an event in Cubas de la Sagra, the counselor labeled the circumstances as “extremely serious.” He expressed that it is “unsustainable” to have a Prime Minister who must provide explanations as a witness in a case linked to his wife’s alleged business misconduct. Begoña Gómez has been accused of influence peddling and potential corruption involving her business activities.
García Martín described this situation as unprecedented in a democratic context, suggesting that the Prime Minister can no longer endure such circumstances. He emphasized that Sánchez must clarify his position and address accountability without further delay.
He voiced his belief that Spain does not deserve to be at the center of international scrutiny due to the perceived business entanglements of the Prime Minister and his family. “It is imperative for him to provide explanations and to bring this drawn-out saga to an end for the sake of all Spaniards,” he stressed.
This ongoing situation raises significant questions about political accountability and governance, highlighting the importance of transparency in public office.
