Government claims emails clear Begoña Gómez case
The Spanish government has stated that emails linked to the Begoña Gómez case show no wrongdoing. This claim comes amid probes into the activities of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's wife. Officials emphasize the transparency of the proceedings.
On September 30, 2025, the Spanish government addressed the case involving Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. In an official statement, the executive claimed that analyzed emails demonstrate that 'there is nothing here,' ruling out any irregularities in Gómez's activities.
The case stemmed from allegations of undue influence in public contracts linked to a university chair led by Gómez at Madrid's Complutense University. Investigators have reviewed electronic communications to check for conflicts of interest. According to the government, these documents, obtained during the probe, confirm the legality of all actions.
'An exhaustive analysis of the emails shows no evidence of embezzlement or favoritism,' a government spokesperson stated, citing the prosecutor's review. This stance contrasts with opposition accusations demanding more details on Gómez's business donations and collaborations.
The political context is tense, with the case fueling debates on nepotism within the executive. However, the government insists that independent investigations support its version, and no formal charges have been filed against Gómez to date. Legal experts note that disclosing the emails bolsters the defense, though they call for a definitive judicial resolution to dispel doubts.
This statement aims to quell criticisms and reaffirm the government's integrity before the Spanish public.
