The wife of the President of Government, Begoña Gómez, the rector of the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), Joaquín Goyache, and the auditor of the UCM, María Elvira Gutiérrez-Vierna, will be the first three appearances of the commission of inquiry. to clarify to the Assembly if there was favorable treatment towards the wife of Pedro Sánchez in this public university.
This is what sources from the Popular Parliamentary Group reported to Europa Press, explaining that it is the list that they requested from the committee table which determined this Monday who will be summoned on November 13 and where they will have an absolute majority.
In this way, Gutiérrez-Vierna resolved the only unknown that remained for a few weeks, the “popular” announced that he would call Gómez and Goyache. As El Mundo published in July, the UCM Intervention prepared a report on the awarding of Begoña Gómez’s chair to one of the technological providers – Making Science – emphasizing that the services were “arranged in a way irregular” to grant him a request for 24,200 euros, which implies that the order was “verbal”.
The PSOE defends that the presence of Gómez “brings nothing”
A few minutes before the list was known, the spokesperson for the PP in the Assembly, Carlos Díaz-Pache, was asked if he believed that in an era of political unity due to the crisis caused by DANA in the Valencian Community and in Castile-La Mancha, Gómez’s call could boost the unanimity of the parties.
“I believe that the institutions continue to function. There is a national emergency, but this assembly continues to do its work, it continues to debate laws, it continues to do the work to approve the budgets of the Community of Madrid and, of course, the 20 commissions that are in this assembly continue to operate. Díaz-Pache was transferred.
In this sense, he believes that there is “no reason to postpone any appearance” and that the “climate of collaboration between the parties” was already in force this weekend without the call to the wife of the president “constituted an obstacle”.
The leader of the PSOE-M, Juan Lobato, does not share this vision, who considers that “this contributes nothing to Madrid politics”, but rather causes a “climate of confrontation and tension”. “It seems to me that people are not stupid and they sense the obscenity of using institutions to do cheap politics, right? And that is what, in this case, I think the Popular Party is doing,” he indicated below.
The commission was also scorned by Más Madrid’s spokesperson in the Chamber, Manuela Bergerot, which she once again described as a “popular” “media circus”. In his intervention, prior to that of Díaz-Pache, he doubted the attitude that the PP would take in the face of “a case of humanitarian emergency” in Valencia.
Finally, Vox, which has denied for weeks that the PP was going to call Begoña Gómez, assured this morning that if neither the president of the government nor his wife appeared on the list of the first commission “there will be no doubt about the complicity of the Popular Party with the 1st of the plot He again criticized the treatment reserved for his formation within this commission, which he described as an attempt by the PP to “silence and hide” the party of Santiago Abascal.
