Twenty years together and many difficulties have gone through the President of the Government and his wife: from the controversial saunas of Sabiniano Gómez to the criticized signing of David Azagra at the Teatro Real. The last one, however, has left them breathless. The complaint of Clean Hands to investigate Begoña Gomez for an alleged involvement in the Koldo Case has blown up Pedro Sanchezwho has announced via statement a break in his agenda to reflect on his continuity in office. “I need to stop and reflect with my wife”, has said. A wife who has become her greatest support all these years and who, after 20 years of marriage and two daughters together, is her absolute priority: “I am a man deeply in love with my wife.”
Begoña and Pedro 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.
A large heritage
The arrival of Pedro Sánchez and Begoña Gómez to the Moncloa also had repercussions on their assets. According to the declaration of assets presented in Congress in 2023, the president owns two homes and two parking spaces in the city of Madrid. One of them, of which he owns 100%, was acquired in 1992, along with the garage space. The other, of which he is a half owner, was acquired in 2008 according to the declaration of assets. It also has 20.000 euros in your checking account and an investment fund 81.449 euros. In addition, Sánchez has contracted a pension plan for a value of 105.378 euros and owns 5.104 euros in actions. To his annual salary as head of the Executive of 87.814,80 eurosthe president added 12.845 euros for leasing of real estate and 360 euros for dividends.
Begoña, for her part, appears as the owner of several homes shared with her brother and father: a chalet in Pozuelo de Alarcón and an apartment in the Los Austrias neighborhood.
