Begoña Gomez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, will face trial on corruption charges after a judge ordered proceedings on Saturday. The accusations center on alleged abuse of power, claiming Gomez leveraged her position to obtain employment contracts for personal benefit. As a result of the judge’s decision, Gomez is prohibited from leaving Spain and is required to report to court regularly. This development occurs amidst a broader wave of corruption investigations that, while not directly implicating Sanchez, are creating political turmoil. The ongoing scandals pose a significant risk to the stability of Sanchez’s minority coalition government. The case is being closely watched as it unfolds and could have major repercussions for Spanish politics.
