Pedro Sánchez landed in Ankara on Tuesday for the NATO summit, but Begoña Gómez was unable to accompany him after Judge Antonio Viejo denied permission for her travel.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez arrived shortly after 4:30 p.m. aboard the official Armed Forces plane. He received a bouquet of flowers intended for him, while another prepared for his wife remained undelivered.

Substitute Judge Antonio Viejo authorized Gómez's trip to London for her daughter's graduation, citing judicial cooperation with the United Kingdom, but rejected travel to Turkey because it is not part of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice.

Justice Minister Félix Bolaños questioned the ruling and stated that the precautionary measures are unnecessary because the risk of flight is zero, as Gómez is always accompanied by National Police officers.

Emine Erdoğan invited the leaders' spouses to a dinner at the Presidential Palace on Tuesday.

Watu wanasema nini

Discussions on X highlight the court ruling blocking Begoña Gómez from joining Pedro Sánchez at the NATO summit in Ankara, with media noting his solo arrival and a waiting bouquet for two. Critics label the judge's decision as politically biased or absurd given permission for her London trip, while Turkish accounts report factually on the passport restriction due to corruption charges. Some express skepticism over alleged flight risk, and others reference government claims of strong judicial cooperation with Turkey.
