Spouse of PSOE Spokesperson Owns Rental Flats, PP Says
Montse Mínguez is a spokesperson for PSOE, a political party in Spain. She speaks for the party at its office, called Ferraz.
A news report says her partner owns about 30 flats. He rents these flats to people in the city of Lleida.
PSOE has a campaign against landlords. The party calls some landlords 'rentistas'. This word means people who make money from renting homes.
The other big party, PP, says this is hypocritical. PP says Mínguez criticizes landlords, but her own partner is one.
The report also says Mínguez worked as a city councillor in Lleida. As a councillor, she agreed to an urban planning change.
This change let her partner build luxury flats. He made money from these flats later.
PP says this looks bad for PSOE. PSOE has not given a long answer yet.
