It was half past eight in the morning when the parties to the trial against Begoña Gómez received a new decision from Judge Juan Carlos Peinado. In it, the magistrate summoned them this Monday at noon to the Court. The reason, deliver the video recording from the testimony of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, on July 30, in which refused to testify against his wife.
However, the public will not see these images, but will only have access to the audio, due to the measures taken by the magistrate to avoid leaks to the media and social networks. And Peinado ordered that large yellow letters be placed on the video, specifying which copy it is, that is, to which part of the procedure it was delivered.

Beyond the testimony, he also asked to know the Gomez’s salary at the Complutense University, or the relationship of all registered students in the master’s degree directed by the wife of the President of the Government in the aforementioned academic institution.
Similarly, and on the other hand, the treatment of complaints that weigh on the judge. Certain proceedings for disclosure of secrets and prevarication filed, on the one hand, by the defense of Begoña Gómezand on the other hand, the President of the Government, through the State Attorney.
