The author expresses serious doubts about the defense of the investigation and the measures dictated by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado in the case affecting Begoña Gómez, wife of the President of the Government. The withdrawal of her passport and other precautionary measures, along with the decision to send the case to a jury, are criticized, with expectations that they will be revoked by the Provincial Court of Madrid.
It is argued that the magistrate displays "little legal stubbornness" and "authentic 'lawfare'" against the wife of the tenant of La Moncloa. While Gómez's conduct regarding her businesses is not defended, it is noted that her actions, though scandalous to public opinion, do not make her a criminal in a strict sense.
“"Withdrawing the passport of the President of the Government's wife and, on top of that, suggesting her own bodyguards might help her flee, seems very strong."
The difficulty of ensuring a jury's impartiality when considering Begoña Gómez is raised, given the constant controversy surrounding her husband, Pedro Sánchez. Judge Peinado's inability, nearing retirement, to draft comprehensible and orthographically correct orders is criticized, suggesting his actions warrant "political, ethical, and aesthetic repudiation," but not necessarily a criminal case justifying extreme precautionary measures.
The General Council of the Judiciary is urged to formally require Judge Peinado to rectify his "excesses." The article also points out that the judge's actions should not extend to other magistrates investigating cases inconvenient for the Government, nor should they affect the Supreme Court. The urgency of restoring confidence in justice is emphasized, criticizing the contribution of ministers like Félix Bolaños and other government members, as well as magistrates who identify with political leanings.
Finally, the article advocates for restoring the prestige of law enforcement agencies and suggests that Pedro Sánchez should have left power months ago. The possibility of Sánchez seeking another term is questioned, indicating that Judge Peinado, despite being considered a "stain on the judicial system," is making this impossibility more evident.
