El Plural deletes article mocking judge Peinado's vvife

Working as a civil servant for 40 years should not be news. But when that person is the spouse of the judge investigating the 'Begoña Gómez case', it becomes a weapon. Last [month], El Plural published an article titled "El Plural denounces that Judge Peinado's vvife has worked as a civil servant for 40 years." The reaction on social media was immediate: users mocked the fact that a standard career trajectory for any public employee was presented as a 'denunciation'.

The silent correction
Faced with a flood of criticism, the outlet chose to remove the reference to the 40 years of seniority without explanation. The revised version no longer includes the data that sparked ridicule. For many, this is another example of how certain media outlets seek to wear down the judge – who is investigating the president's vvife – with information that would be trivial in other contexts.

Critics point to double standards
Many highlighted the contradiction: when it came to Pedro Sánchez's family, these same outlets cried out against "public shaming," but now they scrutinize the work life of an ordinary civil servant. It was also noted that the judge's vvife is not the only one with relatives in administration; President Sánchez's daughter has faced similar controversies. The debate revealed a war of sarracena relativism where each side uses the same argument depending on who is targeted.

But beyond the noise, an uncomfortable question remains: why is 40 years of public service considered a scandal by some and a silent merit by others?
