Montse Mínguez deja la política para no perjudicar la campaña de Sánchez
La diputada anuncia a través de un mensaje en la red que da “un paso al lado” tras trascender los negocios inmobiliarios de su pareja
The spokesperson for the PSOE, Montse Mínguez, has decided to leave her position in the party and not stand for the Congress lists, where she had planned to lead the candidacy of Lleida, in order to avoid harming the campaign of Pedro Sánchez. She had faced strong criticism from the opposition after it was revealed by Article 14 that her partner owns a real estate company with over 30 apartments and has carried out several evictions.
The contradiction between Mínguez's position, who spearheaded the PSOE debate on the eviction decrees and harshly attacked the "betrayer" funds, and her partner's professional activity, has caused significant strain and served as a basis for the PP and Vox to criticize the "hypocrisy" of the PSOE. At the Brussels headquarters, Pedro Sánchez commented that Mínguez "was worn out, she was going through a very difficult time" and that "politics sometimes mistreats good people," lamenting her fall.
The PSOE leader explained that he tried to persuade her not to leave politics, believing she was doing an excellent job and it was unfair for her to have to step down, but as she cited personal reasons, there was nothing he could do but accept her decision.
