The ongoing investigation into Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has sparked significant controversy and media attention.
Judge Juan Carlos Peinado opened a case against Gómez based on a complaint from the far-right group Manos Limpias, which was criticized for lacking substantial evidence.
Despite the absence of clear indications of wrongdoing, the case has led to political turmoil, with opposition parties like the PP and Vox calling for Sánchez's resignation.
The investigation has drawn international headlines, particularly as Sánchez is set to testify, raising questions about the implications of political influence and nepotism.
Critics argue that the judicial scrutiny of Gómez is unprecedented and may be politically motivated, likening the situation to a soap opera that has captivated both national and international audiences.
