HazteOir asks for 13 years in prison for Begoña Gómez for trafficking in influence and two crimes of embezzlement

The Spanish organization HazteOir has filed a popular accusation against Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, alleging three criminal offenses: trafficking in influence, two cases of misappropriation of public property. The accusations relate to her work at the Complutense University of Madrid, specifically the creation of an extraordinary chair that differs from the master’s program she previously directed. HazteOir claims that Gómez 'conceived the chair independently of the university' but later used Juan Carlos Barrabés, who was removed from the jury process. They argue that the chair was not an academic structure but a tool for fundraising and accessing top-tier technology companies. The group accuses Gómez of exploiting her position through the influence of the university rector and her marital relationship with the prime minister. Additionally, they allege misuse of public funds via the development of software using university resources, which they claim should result in eight years in prison.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the allegations against Begoña Gómez as serious crimes committed under the influence of her husband, the prime minister, and highlights systemic abuse of power within the university system.

Why objectivity (72): The article presents the accusations from HazteOir with a certain level of advocacy, using terms like 'ultra' and 'instrumento de captación de financiación.'

The Judicial Power opens the door to sanction the judge Peinado for disregard in the case Begoña Gómez

The Spanish judiciary has decided to forward two disciplinary cases against Judge Juan Carlos Peinado to the Madrid High Court (TSJM). One case involves allegations of 'desconsideración' (disregard) related to his handling of the case against Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The court will assess whether Peinado’s comments suggesting collaboration between security forces and potential escape by Gómez constituted a minor infraction, which could result in a warning or fine. Another case concerns a delay in processing a case involving journalist Nacho Abad, who claims Peinado unjustifiably extended the investigation into defamation. The decision was made with progressive votes and the support of President Isabel Perelló, despite conservative dissent arguing that such expressions are part of judicial reasoning and should not be subject to disciplinary action.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced account of the judicial process, highlighting both the progressive majority's stance supporting further review and the conservative minority's argument defending judicial independence. There is no clear ideological slant in the framing of the legal proceedings or the‑

The Judicial Power sends to the TSJ of Madrid two investigations to judge Peinado for two possible faults of disregard and delay

The Spanish Supreme Court (TSJ) in Madrid has been sent two investigations against Judge Juan Carlos Peinado by the Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ). These cases involve potential procedural errors, including the revocation of the passport of Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, under the claim that her police bodyguards could assist her in fleeing Spain. The second case involves an alleged unjustified delay in processing a legal procedure between June 2024 and January 2026. Four other complaints against the judge were dismissed by the CGPJ, including one filed by Minister Félix Bolaños regarding Peinado’s questioning of Cristina Álvarez, an advisor to Gómez.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about judicial actions taken against a judge involved in high-profile political cases. It does not exhibit overtly biased language, one-sided sourcing, or omissions that would indicate a clear ideological lean. The content remains focused on procedural legal
