A New Controversy About Begoña Gómez Comes to Light

The Transparency Council Has Issued an Ultimatum to the Presidency of the Government. Demanding that the details of Begoña Gómez's trips on Falcon planes be published.

The Government could face legal action for not reporting on Begoña Gómez's flights on the presidential Falcon.

Some time ago, economist John de Zulueta reported in an interview that Begoña Gómez had traveled on the Falcon on multiple occasions without justification.

During a conversation with Eurico Campano on Periodista Digital, De Zulueta stated that the president's wife had repeatedly flown to the Dominican Republic.

According to the economist, in the last five years, 39 presidential flights to this destination were recorded without a clear justification.

In the interview, De Zulueta mentioned that a well-informed businessman assured him that Begoña Gómez was present on many of these flights.

The Transparency Council demanded that Moncloa publish the details of these trips to clarify the use of public resources.

The request included information on destinations, dates, and reasons for the trips made by the wife of President Pedro Sánchez.

The Executive refused to provide this data, citing security and protocol reasons to justify its lack of transparency.

This refusal caused criticism from the opposition, which questioned the use of public resources for purposes that might not be official.

Some trips coincided with Begoña Gómez's professional activities, raising suspicions of possible conflicts of interest.

The Transparency Council gave the Presidency a ten-day deadline to deliver the requested information about these trips.

If the requirement was not met, the Government could have faced legal action for failing to comply with transparency regulations in public management.

The estimated cost of each flight was 120,000 euros. Which would mean more than one million euros undeclared for every ten flights.

According to De Zulueta, Air Commander Armando Estrada Ferrero would have been key to clarifying these flights and their relationship with the presidential couple.

It was pointed out that the refusal to provide information not only violated the law but also undermined citizens' trust in their political representatives.

The controversy over Begoña Gómez's trips on the Falcon continued to grow, and the pressure on the Government to provide explanations increased.

If Moncloa didn't comply with the Transparency Council's requirement, sanctions and legal actions could have been taken against the Executive.
