He Spanish Governmentthrough the public company Aena, reported to the Civil Guard “the leak of data and images of users of the authorities room of the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport”. After the exclusive OKDIARIO video of Begoña Gómez, Pedro Sánchez’s wife, boarding a plane after using the authorities room and a private vehicle on the runway, the socialist executive takes the facts to the Armando Institute “for security reasons.”
In a brief statement titled official logos of the Government and Aena, with the slogan “Airports for you”, the Executive of Sánchez – through the Ministry of Transport – informs of the presentation of the complaint to the Civil Guard.
They explain that “Aena informed the Civil Guard recording and publication of unauthorized images in unauthorized areas on the airside of a terminal at Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport. The state-owned company claims the video “allegedly violates the national security program of Civil Aviation established for the protection of critical infrastructures against illicit acts, a violation potentially aggravated by the public profile of the registered persons and the presence of persons who make up its security device.
On the other hand, Aena’s statement devotes a long paragraph to justifying Begoña Gómez’s use of authority privileges, although a royal decree from 1983 does not cite the wife of the president of the government as such. “Users of the airport authority lounges use them mainly for security reasonsboth for you and for all passengers at the airport. The use of airport infrastructure management facilities is regulated by a circular from the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Government. Since 2008, and ratified by clarification in 2016, the regulation that regulates the activity of the authority chambers provides specifically the figure of the spouses of the President of the Government and former Presidents of the Government, for reasons of physical security.
The Government maintains that a document having the rank of “circular» of Moncloa itself modifies the royal decree that determines who is an authority in Spain and who is not.
