Spain's PM Sánchez says he'll continue in office after days of reflection over wife's corruption probe
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Monday he will continue in office “even with more strength” after days of reflection.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Monday he will continue in office “even with more strength” after days of reflection.
Sánchez shocked the country last week, announcing he was taking five days off to think about his future after a court opened preliminary proceedings against his wife on corruption allegations.
“I have decided to continue on with even more strength at the helm of the government of Spain,” he said in a televised speech on Monday morning.
The legal complaint against his wife, Begoña Gómez, was filed by a far-right legal platform that says Gómez used her position to influence business deals.
The group, Manos Limpias, or “Clean Hands,” acknowledged that the complaint was based on newspaper articles. Spanish prosecutors say it should be thrown out.
