There is a saying that Caesar’s wife must not only be honest, but appear so. This saying has its roots in ancient Rome and is attributed to Emperor Julius Caesar. He is said to have expressed this when questioned about the relationship between his wife, Pompeii, and another man during a scandal at a religious festival in 62 BC. C. Although Pompeya was not directly implicated in the incident, public perception of her behavior compromised her reputation and that of her husband. Two things derive from here, the relationship between women and power and slander, something that remains. We haven’t changed much since Caesar’s time. The woman considered as a mere adornment and complement of the man (especially if he is powerful), as a mere male trophy, which is displayed pristinely before the public. She has no right to anything, but to what she is: a mere companion of her husband and her owner. The right wants to turn President Sánchez’s wife into the same thing. Poor women. Even if they have no proof of anything, what difference does it make? The important thing is to sow doubts about her morality, her integrity, her innocence, that there will always be something left and if with that they scratch votes, the better. Disgust with that policy, really.
