स्पेन में बड़ा सियासी भूचाल… पीएम की पत्नी पर चलेगा भ्रष्टाचार का मुकदमा, पासपोर्ट जमा करने का आदेश – spain pedro sanchez wife begona gomez corruption trial NTC AGKP
A big political uproar has arisen in Penn. The wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will now have to face trial in court. He has been accused of corruption and misuse of influence. After this decision of the court, the opposition has started demanding resignation from the government.
Begona Gomez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, has been ordered by a judge to face trial. He has been accused of misuse of influence and corruption. The judge has also ordered him to surrender his passport.
The name of the judge who gave this decision is Juan Carlos Peinado. Investigating Judge Peinado said that Begona Gomez could run away, so her passport would be taken from her. Apart from this, he will also have to appear in the court every two weeks. However, no date for the trial has been decided yet.
As soon as this decision came, a huge uproar has started in Spanish politics. The opposition has demanded the resignation of Sanchez’s socialist government.
Begona Gomez is accused of misusing his position to help some technology companies get government contracts. Apart from this, the judge has also alleged that he misused government money to hire a consultant. Also, when she was a professor in a government university, she had misused the software.
Begona Gomez has denied all the allegations against him. Whereas Prime Minister Sanchez says that this entire matter is a conspiracy against his wife. He claims that the Conservative opponents want to topple his left wing government, that is why he is making such false cases. Sanchez’s government has been in power since 2018.

Judge Peinado also said that in this case, a businessman and a consultant who had benefited from these government contracts will also face trial.
Let us tell you that Sanchez has been a critic of US President Donald Trump and he is facing many legal troubles before the elections to be held next year.
Earlier this week, another big case had come to light. Former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero also appeared before a different judge. He is accused of having a role in giving bailout to a government airline. Apart from this, when the police raided his office, valuable jewelery was also recovered from there, for which he had to answer. Zapatero has also denied the allegations against him.
Government officials have strongly condemned this decision, calling it politically motivated.
The Socialist Party has called it a very shameful matter for democracy. The party said that Begona Gomez is innocent and has been targeted politically and legally for two years. The party says that today’s decision is a new step in this conspiracy.
On the other hand, Spain’s conservative opposition party has strongly attacked the government and has demanded the government to hold elections soon. Miguel Tellado, Secretary General of the opposition People’s Party, said that no one had ever thought that the threat to democracy could come from the government itself.
He says that the government is attacking judges, prosecutors and media and trying to suppress the voice of opposition parties. He said that such a thing cannot be imagined in any modern democracy.
Let us tell you that this two-year long investigation against Begona Gomez was started on the complaint of a pressure group Manos Limpias i.e. Clean Hands. The group has taken up several legal cases in the past, most of which have been related to conservative causes.
