The President of the Government, Pedro Sanchezdefended this Tuesday that he has “absolute peace of mind” if the judge Juan Carlos Peinado He wants to investigate his wife’s accounts, Begoña Gómezwho he has said is “neat and honest.” What Sánchez did not want to answer is the role of Cristina Álvareza Moncloa advisor who would have worked for Gómez in his private activities.
The investigator investigating the president’s wife for possible influence peddling, business corruption and misappropriation has issued an order in which he requests “the numbering of current accounts in which” Gómez appears as the owner and asks the Civil Registry for the “literal marriage certificatewith its marginal annotations”.
For Sánchez, this decision is not of major importance and if the judge wants to “study the state of his wife’s accounts” he will verify that she is “neat, honest and has an account statement that reflects what any working professional in this country does.”
Therefore, he takes it once again with “absolute tranquility and transparency” and if Peinado also wants to “prove in writing” that they are married, “there is no problem either.” The spokesperson for the Executive, Pilar Alegría, also said this Tuesday that the Government trusts in justice and has insisted that “the truth will put things in their place sooner rather than later.”
However, Sánchez has avoided answering the question of whether he knows that the program director of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, Cristina Álvarez, could have carried out work within the framework of Gómez’s professional activity.
