The People’s Party (PP) has defended the police response to Judge Peinado, despite protests from police unions and associations. Party leadership, under Feijóo, has refrained from criticizing the judge directly. This comes amid scrutiny surrounding a case involving Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Sánchez. The PP maintains that those close to Sánchez should be held accountable, even if the case doesn’t result in a conviction. The party suggests the police action was a logical consequence of the situation. Despite potential for the case to conclude without a guilty verdict, the PP insists on addressing perceived responsibilities within Sánchez’s circle. The situation highlights tensions between the judiciary, law enforcement, and political actors in Spain.
