Spain's PM Wife Ordered to Stand Trial

Spain’s top court has ordered Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, to stand trial on corruption and influence-peddling charges, sparking a political earthquake as opposition demands government resignation and accuses Sánchez of weaponizing the judiciary. Gómez denies all allegations, calling the case a politically motivated witch hunt by conservatives, while Sánchez vows to defend her. The two-year investigation, led by anti-corruption group Manos Limpias, now includes trials for associates tied to disputed government contracts. With elections looming next year, the ruling party brands the ruling an “absolute scandal for democracy,” as Gómez faces passport surrender and mandatory court appearances.
