A familiar pattern emerges as the wife of Socialist Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is indicted on corruption charges and remanded to give up her passport and return to court for check-in every 15 days until trial.
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — A judge on Saturday ordered the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to face trial on charges of influence peddling and corruption, and to surrender her passport.
Investigative judge Juan Carlos Peinado issued the ruling, arguing that Begoña Gómez represented a flight risk. In addition to surrendering her passport, she must also appear before a court every two weeks. A trial date hasn’t been set.
The decision touched off a heated political confrontation, with calls from the opposition for Sanchez’s Socialist government to resign.
Gómez is accused of using her position to influence government contracts given to a group of technology companies. The judge also accused her of the misuse of public funds in the hiring of a consultant, and the inappropriate use of software while she was a professor at a public university.
Gómez has denied any wrongdoing. Sánchez has called the case against her part of a smear campaign by conservative political opponents to topple his left-wing government, which has been in power since 2018.
Peinado said that a businessman who allegedly benefited from the government contracts and the consultant that worked for Gómez will also stand trial. (read more)
It is factual that almost every socialist politician is eventually involved in influence peddling, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, embezzlement and corruption.
Sounds like Hunter
Sounds more like Gavin’s wife.
Yep indeed! Was thinking the hoi-polloi of the once great state of CA should read the headlines…they ought not be impervious to the calamity if their actions.
Hunter with boobs.
Karl Marx, their spiritual leader, was a firm believer in the wealth creation of the capitalists.
He understood that without the wealth created by the capitalists, there would be nothing to transfer.
Modern day Marxists have never lost sight of the lesson.
Marx would have known. He never really earned or produced anything on his own, other than some occasional small sums he received for the trash he wrote. Other than that, he was supported by wealthy friends and acquaintances virtually his whole life. As far as his Marxist economics goes, its failure everywhere it has ever been tried proves he never really understood economics at all. But yes, he understood how the money of capitalist wealth creators could benefit non-creators like himself.
Boom.
I enjoy the sound of that.
More, please.
almost every socialist politician
Name some honest ones……
Fixed it.
“It is factual that almost every XXXXX politician is eventually involved in influence peddling, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, embezzlement and corruption”
“It is factual that almost every socialist politician is eventually involved in influence peddling, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, embezzlement and corruption.”
If I may add, every socialist politician worldwide including virtually all of them in the U.S.
Still looks like a guy to me.
Wives of politicians during the dirty work for their husbands cough cough Jennifer Newsome among others
Maggie Goodlander, also the wife of Sheldon ___ (cant come up with her name right now. So many others. And they keep their maiden names so we wont immediately know who they are married to. And the press either knows and doesnt tell or wont ask.
Mags Badlander is the wife of Jake Sullivan.
In practice her image was sold to us as somewhat like a republican that votes with the NH dRATS.
But in reality she’s just your average everyday Affluent White Female Uber Liberal (AWFUL) elitist.
And… like all successful communists, she has become quite rich.
Under free enterprise, the rich get powerful; under socialism the powerful get rich.
notice how the wives of disgusting politicians are even more disgusting?
A politician: one who is a pratitioneer of the Art of using power…..for whatever reason.
Beware.
Sounds like the vast majority of the of our American CONGRESS is following the same script!
Fortunately America still has the 2A and our founding documents compelling Patriotic Americans to “take back” our country if our traitorous federal government refuses to honor their OATH!
From our American “Declaration of Independence”:
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”
Yet a vast number of Americans have NO IDEA what that statement is – or means – because the communist infiltrators of our educational system long ago made sure that our children were NOT to be educated in such matters that, in reality, form the basic foundation of our freedoms & liberties.
What better way to achieve your own communist goals than to ignore, degrade, pervert, and even hide the truths that the Founders found to be “self evident.” However, as mentioned previously, so, so many have no idea what the basic “building blocks” are that this country was built upon. Yes? No? Just ask any college student today to cite the first 5 Constitutional Amendments and what those amendments mean? There you will find your answer. Nine out of ten will have NO IDEA!
The Department of Education (a true oxymoron) needs to be abolished – yesterday! And that’s my “rant” for the day. Sorry to digress from the main topic. Carry-on.
Because politicians who don’t answer to the people believe they can do whatever they want to do, because they can.
For some reason, I am not surprised.
Sadly, too many of us can’t handle access to power and money (things).
It’s one of the most negative aspects of being human. (some call it our sin nature)
