In a contentious move, the People's Party (PP) led by Isabel Díaz Ayuso has enforced the D'Hondt method to determine the number of witnesses each party can call in a commission investigating alleged favoritism involving Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

This decision has sparked protests from opposition parties, including Más Madrid, PSOE, and Vox, who argue that the method unfairly limits their ability to call witnesses.

The commission, seen by many as a political maneuver to undermine Sánchez, has been criticized for its lack of transparency and fairness.

Más Madrid aims to shift the focus of the commission to broader issues like university funding and alleged conservative influence in educational institutions.

However, the PP, holding an absolute majority, has resisted these efforts, maintaining the commission's original intent.

The situation remains tense as parties prepare for the first session on November 13, where Gómez and the rector of Complutense University are expected to testify.
