The other protagonists of the debate: Pedro Sánchez’s wife and mother capture all eyes in Congress

This Wednesday has been a decisive day for the PSOE and for Pedro Sánchez. The investiture debate began at mid-morning that will close this Thursday to make the leader of the Socialists the President of the Government after the early elections last July. From the Guest Tribune, the protagonist’s mother and wife have become his greatest support.

Magdalena She is a very discreet woman who does not usually appear in the media but this Wednesday she broke her mantra to accompany her daughter-in-law, Begoña Gomez, in the Congress Palace. Both, dressed in classic-cut red and white suits, followed Pedro Sánchez’s speech very attentively.

Pedro Sánchez’s mother is 71 years old and worked as a Social Security official. She decided to give her life a direction and enroll in Law, a career she studied when her son was studying Economics: “She got better grades than me,” he said in an interview. Married to Pedro Sánchez Fernández in 1971, she is the mother of two children: Peter and David. He lives between Madrid and Saint Petersburg, where he obtained a Chair in Musical Composition and Operatic Direction.

The first time we saw Magdalena Sánchez-Castejón in Congress was in 2019. She attended her son’s inauguration accompanied by her son David and Begoña Gómez y David. We were also able to see it during the motion of censure proposed by Vox.
