The director of communications of the PSOE, Ion Antolinparticipated this Wednesday morning in the Madrid Assembly to support Begoña Gómez, wife of the President of the Government, during her appearance at the research commission of the Complutense University which began its work today at the regional chamber.
Antolín is a regular companion of Begoña Gómez during her summons after the scandal revealed by her university chair at the UCM, and for which she is accused before a court in the Plaza de Castilla which is investigating her for several crimes: drug trafficking influence, corruption in business. . , embezzlement and professional intrusion.
The PSOE communications manager also came to support Begoña Gómez last July when she appeared before the judge. Juan Carlos Peinado before the courts of Madrid.

However, the same Code of Ethics indicates in another article of its text that the PSOE “may also accept the automatic and preventive suspension of membership when a criminal investigation has been opened and particularly serious circumstances arise in relation to the alleged facts which require this decision.” with immediate reasons.” This section is the one that was used to expel other members who had no connection to the CEO.
