Begoña Gómez’s visit to Port Aventura
Today, Thursday, Begoña Gómez, the Spanish first lady and partner of President Pedro Sánchez, made a surprise visit to Port Aventura, the Costa Daurada theme park, located between Vila-seca and Salou. Accompanied by her daughter, she enjoyed a private visit to the park’s facilities.
According to various sources, the visit has been discreet and has been carried out with the presence of the escorts of the Sánchez-Gómez family and a reinforcement of vigilance by the park. Although the security of Moncloa and the first lady is the responsibility of the National Police, the Mossos d’Esquadra have also reinforced their presence during the visit. Fortunately, everything went perfectly normally.
Context of the visit
This surprise visit of Begoña Gómez to Port Aventura takes place within the framework of the visit of President Pedro Sánchez to Catalonia to participate in the electoral campaign of Salvador Illa, candidate of the PSC, for the upcoming elections to the Parliament of Catalonia, which will take place on May 12.
On Wednesday, President Sánchez visited the April Fair in Barcelona accompanied by Salvador Illa and received a great reception. Today, Thursday, the president participates in an event in Sant Boi de Llobregat. Meanwhile, the first lady took the opportunity to visit Port Aventura with her daughter, taking advantage of the fact that today is a public holiday in Madrid.
The letter crisis
Begoña Gómez’s visit to Port Aventura comes after a crisis that has affected the electoral campaign in Catalonia. Recently, President Sánchez wrote a letter to the public questioning whether it was worth continuing in office, after the attacks received by the extreme right. However, after five days of reflection, the president confirmed that he would not resign and expressed his willingness to carry out a democratic regeneration.
In summary, Begoña Gómez’s surprise visit to Port Aventura was an unexpected event in the framework of the electoral campaign in Catalonia. Accompanied by her daughter, she enjoyed a private visit to the theme park, while maintaining the necessary discretion and security. This visit demonstrates the support of the Sánchez-Gómez family for Salvador Illa’s campaign and their involvement in Catalan politics.
