Sánchez and Begoña Gómez: six homes and two parking spaces
Spain's Prime Minister and his vvife own at least six properties and two parking spaces, according to data circulating online. The information, not officially confirmed, points to a real estate portfolio that contrasts with the Socialist discourse on the fight for affordable housing.
The most persistent comments claim that part of these properties were acquired when Pedro Sánchez was a student, with help from his father, who is said to have bought an apartment for each of his two children in the same building. If true, the deal suggests early wealth planning that does not fit the profile of a politician who has made equality his banner.
Another line of criticism recalls that Begoña Gómez's in-laws ran a sauna business, adding an ironic note to the image of austerity that the Prime Minister's circle tries to project. "With that innate talent for investments, no wonder we're doing so well," the most sceptical conclude.
What nobody disputes is that the couple owns a considerable property portfolio, in a country where access to housing is the main social problem. And that the opacity surrounding the origin of these assets fuels distrust.
