Begoña Gómez’s appearance in the Madrid Assembly started this Wednesday with a moment of tension between the wife of the President of the Government and deputy Mercedes Zarzalejo, spokesperson for the Popular Party in the investigation commission into alleged irregularities at the Complutense University (UCM). During the beginning of his statement, Gómez pointed out that both this commission and “the collection of complaints and hoaxes” against it pursue political ends, something that has caused the immediate reaction from the PP spokesperson.
Given the mutual interruptions, the deputy spokesperson of the socialists in the Assembly, Jesús Celada, has come out in defense of Gómez, demanding that the president of the commission, Susana Pérez Quislant, turns to speak were respected. “I ask you to demand that the deputy show due respect to the person appearing,” Celada complained to the president of the commission, Susana Pérez Quislant.
For his part, Zarzalejo has reproached Gómez for not answering his question. “I have asked a very specific question, which is to explain what your connection is with the Complutense University”the popular spokesperson has rebuked.
Thus, Pérez Quislant has asked the parties to remain silent. “Ms. Zarzalejo, we are going to let the minute that the appearing party requested, which we are controlling, finish,” he claimed, and later addressed Gómez and reminded him that the procedure continues. a “question-answer” dynamic that she can “answer or not”, begging him to end his first intervention.
Gómez has continued talking about her professional career, developed, according to her, “with a lot of effort” and “like just another one.” “All this has an obvious political objective. You just have to look at the list of complainants,” he assured, and later, take advantage of your right not to declare.
