The Spin

Gómez has been ordered to surrender her passport and to be barred from leaving Spain because the judge sees a real flight risk. Corruption charges against the prime minister's wife expose how power gets abused when the wrong people hold it. Voters deserve better than a government that lectures on accountability while its inner circle faces allegations of influence peddling and embezzlement.

The case against Begoña Gómez was launched by a complaint from a far-right-linked activist group,. andShe she has denied every allegation and has nothing to hide. No charges have been filed, and her lawyer confirmed she never intervened in any public bidding process. Using the courts to destabilize a sitting government rather than pursue genuine justice is a serious threat to democratic norms.
