The appearance of Begoña Gómez in the Madrid Assembly angers the left against Ayuso
The Socialists would not reveal whether Gómez would speak or take advantage of her right not to testify, given that she is immersed in legal proceedings. But what everyone has clearly said is that this first session of the commission of inquiry will be the ideal scenario for a new clash between the Ayuso PP and left-wing groups.
An Assembly official went to the Moncloa Palace last week to hand-deliver to Begoña Gómez the request to attend the commission of inquiry. Juan Lobato’s PSOE has been in permanent contact with Ferraz to define the strategy for the arrival of Sánchez’s wife and transform the bad experience of going through the commission that will investigate his presidency into a new opportunity to indict the president of the Community of Madrid. Information from Mariano Calleja.

Six sessions which will last until February
The “popular” will have a first two-minute round to determine what they want the speaker to report. The PP will focus, as indicated, on the process of creation, management and operation of the Chair of Competitive Social Transformation and the Master in the area promoted by Begoña Gómez. Once this first round is completed, a 20-minute round will follow between the parliamentary group and the person called in the question-and-answer procedure. After that, the rest of the games will last 20 minutes and the speaker will have another 20 minutes on his turn.
This is the culmination of the six sessions that will last until February and during which the “popular” retains the possibility of summoning the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, depending on what will be proposed during this first session.

The session will take place in the Caserón de San Bernardo room of the Assembly, which owes its name to the old seat of the Assembly, which was located there until its move to Vallecas in 1998.
