Vox leader attacks PSOE over Begoña Gómez's campaign appearance
Vox leader Santiago Abascal attacked the PSOE after Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, spoke at a campaign launch.
The appearance was part of campaigning for Spain's 29 November election.
Abascal used the event in Huesca, in the region of Aragón, to accuse Sánchez and people close to him of corruption; these were his claims.
He also referred to a European prosecutor's investigation into alleged contract fraud involving electronic monitoring bracelets for convicted abusers.
Abascal said Vox would abolish the Equality Ministry if it governed.
Vox hopes to win seats in Huesca and Teruel, where it has not previously held seats, and could draw support from the conservative People's Party.
The campaign is under way ahead of the vote, with Abascal urging voters to mobilise.
