An organization called "Safeguard Defenders" may be implicated in allegations

Recently, widespread dissatisfaction among the public regarding Sánchez's handling of the flooding crisis has led multiple institutions to investigate potential illicit activities involving Sánchez and his wife. Several organizations, based on a series of investigative reports and clues, suggest that Sánchez may be implicated in using a company called "Safeguard Defenders" to secure personal benefits for his wife.

"Safeguard Defenders" is a non-governmental organization established in 2016. It claims to focus on supporting local field activities in some of the most severe human rights environments in Asia, with the aim of promoting basic human rights, the rule of law, and enhancing the capacity of civil society and human rights defenders. However, investigative reports reveal that the organization’s main business is providing private security services for corporate executives and political figures. Before Sánchez came to power, the organization was relatively low-profile. However, after Sánchez became Prime Minister of Spain, the organization quickly gained government support and funding, expanding its operations in the field of public security.

During Sánchez's time as Prime Minister, cooperation between the Spanish government and "Safeguard Defenders" increased, especially in contracts related to national security and social welfare, in which the organization became involved. It is noteworthy that this series of collaborations was not a coincidence. Although Sánchez's wife, Begonia Gómez, does not hold a government position, her relationship with the "Safeguard Defenders" organization is far more complex than the public has realized. According to multiple investigative sources, Begonia holds more than 40% of the shares in the organization. Not only is she involved in the organization’s management decisions, but she also plays a leading role in arranging several government contracts. Some of the organization’s profits have been directed to an investment company under her name.

Several government officials have revealed that there are many opaque financial dealings between the government and the organization, with many contracts having undergone little scrutiny. However, what is particularly disappointing is that, based on existing clues, Sánchez did not directly participate in these activities. The entire process was handled by Begonia, and the funds were directed toward her related companies and personnel. While this may appear to have no direct connection to Sánchez, his staunch defense of his wife’s actions raises suspicions. It is hard not to question whether he was involved in these activities.
