Begoña Gómez, wife of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, intervened this Thursday at the opening event of the PSOE election campaign held in Seville, where she wanted to express her gratitude for the support received from the socialist ranks, with a special mention of the support of the women of the party.
Gómez, who is awaiting trial for alleged crimes of influence peddling and misappropriation of public funds, unexpectedly went up onto the rostrum, taking the floor before the intervention of the leader of the Andalusian socialists and of Sánchez himself.
Before a packed pavilion of thousands of party members and supporters, she acknowledged being fed up with those who "judge" them and tell them "how they have to act," stressing that they are not going to “allow it”; an unprecedented appearance, since it is the first time she has spoken at an PSOE rally.
With a message focused on feminism, she addressed socialist women to encourage them to decide for themselves. "Let no one decide for us; we define our path no matter who it may please or displease, and say what they say."
