A judge has summoned Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, to appear as a defendant on October 23. The summons comes as part of a lawsuit filed by Vito Quiles, who accuses her of false accusation.

The dispute between the two began after an altercation at a restaurant in Las Rozas. Gómez had accused Quiles of harassment, but her complaint was dismissed.

Subsequently, Quiles decided to file a lawsuit against Gómez, which has led to the judicial summons. Reportedly, Gómez is required to attend the Majadahonda court in Madrid at 10:00 AM that day.

This situation reflects an escalation in the conflict between Gómez and Quiles, who is known for his far-right views. The summons has been reported by several media outlets, including El Mundo and ABC.

Gómez's appearance before the judge is expected to clarify the terms of this legal controversy. Both cases of accusation continue to attract media and public attention.
