Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez made his wife Begoña Gómez a central campaign figure ahead of the 29-N general election.
KEY POINTS
- Sánchez and Begoña Gómez appeared together at a PSOE precampaign rally in Fuenlabrada
- Sánchez declared “I love you” to his wife from the stage
- The event ratified candidate lists for the 29-N general election
- Polls outside the CIS predict a PP and Vox majority
- Montse Mínguez resigned as spokesperson and was replaced by Rebeca Torrón
Pedro Sánchez launched his precampaign event in Fuenlabrada on Saturday, bringing his wife Begoña Gómez onto the stage holding hands and sharing hugs and a kiss. The couple appeared together as PSOE members cheered for her with the same fervor shown for party leaders.
Sánchez opened his speech by saying, “Today Begoña accompanies me,” and later declared, “I love you,” asking supporters to hear it loud and clear. He framed the upcoming election as a choice between progress and setback.
“I love you”
The rally also served to ratify candidate lists for Congress and the Senate ahead of the November 29 vote. Sánchez urged socialists to mobilize, warning that polls outside the CIS forecast a PP and Vox majority.
Party leaders projected unity despite the recent resignation of spokesperson Montse Mínguez over criticism of her partner’s real estate dealings. Rebeca Torrón was quickly named the new spokesperson.
Infobae reported that more women than men will head the lists for the Congress of Deputies, though the exact percentage was cut off in the source text.
