said he is considering resigning as his wife faces a court probe over corruption allegations, reported German news agency .
He has cancelled public appearances for “several days” to think about how to proceed, Sánchez said on X, the former Twitter, on Wednesday evening.“I have to stop and reflect,“ the Socialist politician wrote in a “letter to the public”. He said he needed to decide “whether it is worth it” to stay in office despite “the mud pit” the right and far-right are making of politics.The organisation Manos Limpias had previously filed a complaint with a court in Madrid against Sánchez's wife Begoña Gómez for corruption and influence-peddling.
Manos Limpias is a private group that has been campaigning for right-wing causes in Spain for years. It accuses Gómez, 49, of having exploited her position as the prime minister's wife to do business.In their initial reactions, politicians from the opposition conservative People's Party rejected the possibility of the prime minister resigning.
PP politician and Senate Vice President Javier Maroto spoke of “a new show” that Sánchez was putting on and charged that the prime minister sought to stay in power at all costs. “He is always the good guy, everyone else is bad.”Sánchez and Gómez have two daughters. The prime minister's wife does not hold any public office. She is a marketing expert who has worked for banks and non-governmental organisations.
