Begoña Gómez has intervened a few minutes ago in the PSOE's campaign launch event for the general elections on November 29. The wife of the President of the Government spoke during the rally held in Seville and dedicated a few words of thanks to the socialist militants for the support received in recent months.
"Thank you for giving me the breath to continue," Gómez expressed to the attendees. A phrase that provoked an immediate response from the public, who began to chant "you are not alone" as a sign of support.
Her intervention comes at a particularly delicate moment, after months of political and judicial controversy surrounding the wife of the head of the Executive. Her presence at the event also marks a new public appearance alongside the socialists in full preparation for the election campaign.
The support of the militants at the start of the PSOE campaign
The Seville rally marks the beginning of the socialist campaign for the 29-N elections, which will officially start at midnight tonight. Pedro Sánchez participated in this event along with other party representatives, in an event where the PSOE seeks to mobilize its supporters for the upcoming elections.
Begoña Gómez's intervention was one of the highlights of the day, especially for the message of gratitude and the chants of support she received from the public. The wife of the President of the Government recalled the support she has received from other women during this period and conveyed a message of support to the socialist militants.
"Many women have told me: 'Keep going, keep going, you are not alone,'" explained Gómez, who wanted to return that support during her intervention: "Today I come here in person to say that they keep going, that they are not alone, that this is the great party that accompanies them." Her words provoked an immediate reaction among the attendees, who responded with shouts of "you are not alone."
Begoña Gómez vindicates women's autonomy and defends her career against criticism
Pedro Sánchez's wife also vindicated the autonomy and role of women in society. "I speak to you as a woman, as a professional, as a mother, as a friend: for too long we have been wives of, and that time has ended, because we are the authors of our own lives," she affirmed.
During her speech, Gómez defended her professional and personal trajectory against the criticism received. "I am Begoña Gómez and, like all of you, what I have done is fight and define that path, protect my work, defend my work, protect and defend this family," she stated. In addition, she lashed out at those who, according to her words, constantly judge women and try to impose on them how they should behave. "We will agree that we are a bit tired of these people who are constantly badmouthing, judging us as people, who try to tell us how we have to be. And we are not going to allow that," she added to the applause of the audience.
Finally, Gómez called on women to support the PSOE in the elections on November 29 and vindicated the party's role in defending equality. "This is a party that is the beacon: the beacon of hope, of the feminist cause in the entire world," she concluded.
