The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, announced by surprise this past Wednesday, April 24, that he had decided to cancel his public agenda for five days to meditate and decide whether to continue as head of the Executive or, on the contrary, resign from it after the complaint filed against his wife, Begoña Gómez, for an alleged crime of influence peddling and corruption in business.
”At this point, the question I legitimately ask myself is, is all this worth it? Sincerely I dont know. This attack is unprecedented, it is so serious and so gross that I need to stop and reflect with my wife. Many times we forget that behind politicians there are people,’ the President of the Government communicated through his social networks.
In the midst of this political earthquake, the interview of Ester Muñoz, the deputy secretary of Health and Education of the Popular Party, this Thursday on the morning program of Spanish Television’s La 1, La hora de La 1, has become one of the most viral topics of the last few hours.
The presenter of the television program, Silvia Intxaurrondo, asked Ester Muñoz about her latest statements in the Congress of Deputies in which she made accusations against several relatives of Pedro Sánchez. ”Yesterday, in parliament, he accused the father-in-law and brother of the President of the Government. We would like to know with what evidence she has done it and when they are going to file the complaint,” the journalist asked.
”I have not accused anyone of anything or any crime. What I said yesterday is that it was urgent and necessary for Pedro Sánchez to give a press conference to give explanations,” responded the deputy secretary of the PP.
After her reply, the Spanish Television presenter literally read the political intervention. “I am going to remind you of what you yourself said in parliament. It is a literal statement: ‘to your father-in-law who enriches himself with the saunas that we all know, to his father who enriches himself with funds from Next Generation, to his brother who He moves to Portugal to avoid paying taxes and scandals surrounding his wife.” Proof of this information is what I asked of him,” Intxaurrondo said.
Moments later, the interviewee clarified her words: ”I have made reference to issues that everyone knows and that are published. What I am saying is that Mr. Sánchez could deny issues that are published and that he does not want to deny anything or give explanations.’
The moment has not gone unnoticed on social networks and in a matter of minutes it became one of the most viral videos of the last few hours, generating a multitude of reactions praising the work of the La 1 journalist. ”Silvia Intxaurrondo is the best journalist of this country with a lot of difference”, ”Good journalism, in a pim pam it clears the mud”, ”Thanks to professionals like Silvia Intxaurrondo we can say that the journalism of this country still has a little bit of decency”, ‘ ‘More real journalism’ were some of the comments.
