The PP breaks with the right to the presumption of innocence and calls Begoña Gómez "professor in corrupting"

The Popular Party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo has already dictated the sentence for Pedro Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez, thus bypassing the right to the presumption of innocence. In his latest statements, the general secretary of the 'popular' party, Miguel Tellado, has stated that Gómez is simply "a professor in corrupting."

The statements come a day after the Provincial Court of Madrid confirmed that Begoña Gómez will be tried for alleged crimes of influence peddling and embezzlement. The court's resolution has excluded the crimes of business corruption and misappropriation from the case, so the procedure is limited to these two accusations. In addition, the court has withdrawn the precautionary measures against Gómez, considering that there is no risk of flight, but has endorsed Judge Juan Carlos Peinado's decision to conduct the trial through a popular jury.

Likewise, Tellado has asked: "What is Pedro Sánchez doing in his position?" And he has urged him: "What is he waiting for to assume responsibilities? He has decided to bunker down."

Along the same lines, they spoke this Thursday. The popular leadership has linked the judicial decision with the conviction for prevarication issued this same week against David Sánchez, the brother of the head of the Executive. "In the same week that the brother of the President of the Government has been convicted of prevarication, it is confirmed that his wife will sit on a bench," sources from the party have indicated.

The PP assures that this scenario would be "inconceivable in any European democracy" and relates it to the judicial cases affecting former leaders, officials, and people related to the PSOE. The popular party once again speaks of "127 imputations for corruption" around Sánchez and his party, a figure that is part of the political count prepared and disseminated by the party itself.
