It usually happens that when a person does not meet the expectations that existed at the time of their hiring, the contracts are usually not renewed. One of the professors of Begoña Gómez’s master’s degree stated before Judge Peinado that the number of students who followed her was between 10 and 15 each year, although apparently she had told her sponsors that there were 250, which demonstrates a commitment to the truth. equal to that of her husbandPresident Pedro Sánchez. Given that the public and private companies that enrolled their executives in the Begoña Masters later received large public contracts from the Spanish government, the number of students was much lower than expected.
And if, in addition to not achieving their academic objectives, the managers of the companies that financed the master’s degree are forced to take legal action? testify as witnesses of a network of corruption and influence peddling, which considerably harms the public image of their companies, continuing to support them would be interpreted as an investment that is difficult to explain and justify; it is therefore logical that they refused to continue. Just as it also seems reasonable that the wife of the President of the Government failed to find substitutes, reason why the Complutense University (UCM) decided to end Begoña’s masters, despite the fact that she had requested its renewal.
The regulation of the extraordinary chairs of the UCM provides for the possibility that their direction falls “exceptionally and for justified reasons” to “someone without a working relationship with the University”, in which case “a co-director with a working relationship with the UCM”; as happened with Begoña’s master’s degree, for which the university appointed the university doctor Jose Manuel Ruano de la Fuente, full professor of its Department of Political Science. But, in any case, the said regulation requires that both the administrators and the co-directors of these extraordinary chairs respond “to the a professional prestige profiletechnician and scientist recognized in the thematic field of the object of the collaboration.
It is quite strange that the Complutense regulation, of January 2016, does not require a minimum university degree to direct one of its extraordinary chairs, which what Begoña Gómez took advantage of to force the rector to visit her in Moncloa, where she convinced him how much it was in his interest to accept her proposal. This regulatory flaw, which should have been corrected as soon as it was detected, was replaced by a more than subjective “recognized professional, technical and scientific prestige” to which Pedro Sánchez’s wife clung, despite the fact that in his curriculum vitae he only graduated from a private academy and his professional experience was limited to his work in a very small company where he trained telemarketing and “cold door” salespeople for insurance companies, electricity companies and NGO, which he grandiloquently calls “Marketing consultancy in third sector and social impact projects”, like any cigarette seller does.
This lack of a university degree, as well as its Clearly insufficient professional prestigebecomes even more evident when we verify that, as demonstrated by OKDIARIO, among the 54 extraordinary chairs that the Complutense University of Madrid maintains in force, that of Pedro Sánchez’s wife was the only one directed by someone who doesn’t have a degree university. We should add a little more. The teacher Begoña Gómez is unemployed; from now on, she will no longer be able to boast of a title that she should never have enjoyed and will have to move around everywhere with the position, also invented, of “wife of the President of the Government”, which, although it is not a recognized authority, is the only reality that defines her.
