Begoña Gómez’s warning to Pedro Sánchez: “Tomorrow they will go for your daughters”

Tranquility and cold blood. It’s what it’s been these days Begoña Gomez for Pedro Sanchez. The president’s entourage says that the ‘first lady’ lived in despair in the first hours after the opening of proceedings to investigate her activities was announced, but she regained her composure after the publication of the ‘Letter to the Citizens’ that her husband wrote. and published without consulting him: “It was she who asked me not to resign”the president has confessed.

They have not been easy days for either of us. Sánchez’s entourage affirms that what happened last Wednesday was not a “heat” and that he has been fed up for a long time. Begoña’s too. For this reason, the denunciation of Manos Cleans to investigate alleged crimes of influence peddling and corruption was the straw that broke the camel’s back of her patience and she reacted desperately, asking Sánchez not to force her to appear before the Senate in an investigative commission. according to ECD: “Don’t put me through that”. This was the trigger that led Pedro Sánchez to write the famous ‘Letter to the Citizens’, a letter that he wrote in his own handwriting, without the help of advisors and without even consulting his wife: “At this point I wonder, Is it really worth all this? I don’t know,” he said.

Hours later, now calmer, Begoña thought about her family and warned her husband with the concern of a mother: “Today they are going after me, but if they can’t beat me, tomorrow they will go after your daughters”. Some daughters, Ainhoa ​​(18) and Carlota (16), whom they have protected since their arrival in Moncloa and about whom there is hardly any data other than what Pedro Sánchez himself shared in the middle of the electoral campaign (the eldest is studying Psychology at university or who have musical tastes very different from those of their parents).

“Deep in love”

Begoña and Pedro are a team and who knows what would have happened if she had asked her husband to leave Moncloa. They met in the early 2000s during a university party. At that time, the leader of the PSOE bore little resemblance to the man he is now: “Before, I always wore a tracksuit and a jacket because that was what I wore. I used to be glib, I was very bad at dancing, but I was very flirtatious.” , he confessed on one occasion. He fell in love with her wife as soon as he saw her, although she didn’t make it easy for him: “You don’t know how much trouble I gave him, I had to work hard, he made it very difficult for me.”

Finally, Pedro ‘connected’ with Begoña and they decided to live together in an apartment in La Latina, where their first daughter was born. Ainhoa. She was the exceptional witness at her parents’ wedding in 2006. They said “I do” in a civil ceremony at the town hall, officiated by Trinidad Jiménez. It was an intimate celebration, but later they celebrated with more family and friends at the Zarzuela Hippodrome. A year later they expanded the family with the arrival of her second daughter, Charlotte.

Fans of sports and indie music (among their favorites are the Icelandic singer Bjork, The Red Room and The Killers), they lived in a chalet in Pozuelo de Alarcón far from the hustle and bustle of the city before setting foot in the Moncloa, and spent their summers in Mojácar, where they had a second home that became their private refuge.

The arrival of Pedro Sánchez to Moncloa in 2018 gave a radical change to their life: from their family home in Pozuelo they moved to the presidential palace, located in the Moncloa-Aravaca district and where, like their predecessors, they carried out different renovations to their liking. The first was to change the mattress on the double bed and paint the master bedroom. They have also renovated the gardens, a renovation that cost almost 65,000 euros. They also modified the destination of their holidays (from Mojácar to La Mareta (in Lanzarote) and Las Marismillas (Doñana), as well as their official transportation: from the car to the Falcon that has generated so much controversy because of how much they like to use it.
