The wife of the Prime Minister, Begoña Gómez, is expected to file a complaint against the well-known far-right troublemaker Vito Quiles for an alleged “assault” suffered inside a café, according to sources from La Moncloa.

Gómez, who was accompanied by two friends when Quiles approached her and prevented her from leaving the establishment, has posted part of the video on social media, in which the friends of the prime minister’s wife try to prevent the harassment from continuing on the street.
In the footage released by Quiles, he is seen harassing Gómez with questions about the legal case opened against her. But the images are after the agitator entered the café, where, according to Moncloa, “the assault took place.” These same sources report that Quiles entered the establishment and did not let the prime minister’s wife leave.
In the video, Quiles tries to get some words from Gómez about the legal case by questioning her on whether “she regrets having used her status as the prime minister’s wife for her schemes, having appointed an advisor with a public salary for her personal businesses.”
Gómez’s friends try to stop Quiles’s recording by rushing at him shouting “put that shit away,” to which the agitator responds by trying to break free and, at one point, refers to them as “charos”: “stop it, charos!” Quiles replies.

Vito Quiles is the subject of various investigations and complaints. At the end of 2024, a judicial investigation was initiated against him in the Seville court for slander and libel against the president of Facua, Rubén Sánchez. In January of this year, he was reported by former Compromís senator Carles Mulet to the Prosecutor’s Office for the crimes of treason, public provocation, and incitement to crimes against the constitutional order by encouraging Donald Trump to attack the Kingdom of Spain.
In February, a new procedure was initiated against him for revealing secrets following a complaint by the president of Red Eléctrica Española, Beatriz Corredor. Likewise, in January, broadcaster Sarah Santaolalla filed a complaint against him for harassment and for chasing her by taxi from the RTVE studios in Prado del Rey to her home.
Due to this and other complaints filed, a procedure was opened to revoke his press accreditation in the Congress of Deputies for three months.
The PSOE urges Feijóo to condemn these attitudes
After the unpleasant episode became known, the PSOE wanted to send a “message of solidarity to Begoña,” as well as “to all those women who are being persecuted, harassed, and violated by these subsidized fanatics.” The party spokesperson, Montse Mínguez, denounced that cases like this come from “perfectly organized groups” of which “we know what they live on and where they get their funding,” and denounced that “there are parties that have been whitewashing these attitudes for years and even financing these fanatics.” After that, the leader demanded that the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, “condemn these attitudes and say enough already” because “this is harassment, it is intimidation and it has no place in a democracy.”
