New Twist in the Begoña Gómez Case After the Statement of the Former Ucm Vice-rector

The former vice-rector of UCM, Juan Carlos Doadrio, has declared this Wednesday. He was the rector of Institutional Relations at UCM.

However, Doadrio's words have taken a decisive turn in the case of Begoña Gómez's chair. He did so by pointing directly.

Doadrio explained that Goyache literally told him: "We have to create a chair for Begoña Gómez, the president's wife; do you have any objections?" In his intervention before the investigation commission of the Madrid Assembly. The same dedicated to Gómez's programs at UCM, according to EFE, Doadrio stated that he replied that he saw no problem.

As long as "the documents were correct." And indeed, the creation of the extraordinary chair co-directed by Begoña Gómez "was administratively and legally correct." The truth is that he acknowledges that it was not "in terms of procedures."

When questioned by the PP deputy, Mercedes Zarzalejo, Doadrio clarified that he did not feel "pressured" to create the chair. All because he did not receive "threats" of any kind, but he did feel that he was "obliged," given that the rector was his "superior."

He also expressed his surprise at the speed with which it was managed, as if there were "an army of people collaborating." Additionally, he pointed out that the academic report justifying Gómez's suitability to co-direct the chair was provided to him "already prepared." And he adds that it was not signed by anyone.

Doadrio has already testified before Judge Juan Carlos Peinado on two occasions as a witness. The same judge who has been investigating Begoña Gómez since April 2024 for possible crimes of influence peddling and corporate corruption. To these alleged crimes were added those of intrusion and embezzlement in relation to the creation and registration of the chair's software.

This Wednesday's session began with the intervention of Moncloa's advisor, Cristina Álvarez. Charged by the judge in the investigation into Begoña Gómez, and she decided to exercise her right not to testify.

This Is How Begoña Gómez ''Plugged'' Cristina Álvarez Into Moncloa

The 'Begoña Gómez' case, the wife of the Prime Minister, continues to be a scandal. The judicial investigation against Pedro Sánchez's wife has resulted in several charges. Among these, that of a Presidency worker, Cristina Álvarez, who performed assistant duties for Begoña Gómez, while also being assigned to La Moncloa.

The investigation of the case has revealed a series of communications in which it is disclosed that Álvarez worked with the wife in her private businesses. Cristina Álvarez, director of programs of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Government, assured the judge that she arrived at La Moncloa after a call from Begoña Gómez.

According to her statement before Magistrate Juan Carlos Peinado, Pedro Sánchez's wife called her right after winning the motion of censure against Rajoy. Supposedly, and according to Cristina Álvarez's statement, Begoña Gómez called her to offer her the aforementioned position in the Presidency. It is important to emphasize that the job offer did not come from any high-ranking official at Moncloa; it was directly Begoña Gómez.
