The current situation of the Spanish Justice
In recent days, the Spanish Justice has been in the media spotlight due to several investigations that have been made public. One of these investigations is related to the wife of President Pedro Sánchez, Begoña Gómez, who is being investigated for alleged influence peddling and other crimes. Despite this situation, Sánchez has affirmed that he continues to trust the Justice of his country.
Comparisons with other cases
During a parliamentary session, the deputy Gabriel Rufián lamented the situation of the Spanish president’s family and compared this situation to that experienced by many people linked to Catalan independence and other sectors that are not well regarded by the Spanish State . Rufián has recalled cases such as that of former minister Jorge Fernández Díaz and others, who were investigated for different crimes.
Pedro Sánchez’s answer
In response to Rufián’s questions, Pedro Sánchez reiterated his confidence in the independence and autonomy of the Judiciary. He has assured that since the beginning of his mandate, several investigations have been launched that have revealed cases of corruption that embarrass the public. Sánchez emphasized the importance of the separation of powers and affirmed that no one has gone unpunished for their actions.
The commission of inquiry in Congress
Rufián’s parliamentary question has opened the door to the possibility of creating a commission of inquiry in Congress to clarify various issues related to corrupt practices in Spain. This commission could investigate cases such as the so-called ‘Operation Catalonia’ and other issues related to the State’s sewers. The aim would be to shed light on these issues and guarantee transparency in the institutions (https://ca1.10steps.org/Parafrasear-Material-Citado-7761).
