Spanish PM Sanchez Considers Resignation Amid Wife's Graft Probe

ai generated text

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has announced that he will suspend his public duties for the time being due to an investigation into his wife, Begona Gómez, by a Madrid court. The investigation was opened on April 16 following a complaint filed by an anti-corruption pressure group and is subject to a secrecy order. Sanchez claims that the "seriousness of the attacks" he and his wife are experiencing has led him to re-evaluate his position as Prime Minister.

    1. We regret that Pedro Sánchez has opted for the path of silence rather than transparency … His problem isn't just political; it's fundamentally judicial.

    1. We don't know if this is another of his propaganda maneuvers to present himself as a poor victim.

    1. I am not naive. I am aware that they are bringing charges against Begona, not because she's done anything illegal, because they know full well that's not true, but because she's my wife.
    2. Despite everything, I still believe in Spain's justice system.
    3. I need to stop and reflect. I have to answer the question of whether it is worth it, whether I should continue at the head of the government or resign from this honor.
    4. As is only logical, Begoña will defend her honour and will cooperate with the justice system as much as is necessary to clear up facts that are as scandalous in appearance as they are nonexistent.

    1. If you refuse to give explanations again... there will be a specific investigation into matters affecting those closest to you, a parliamentary probe for sure, and a judicial one if necessary.
