El primer ministro Sánchez de España considera opciones ante acusaciones de corrupción contra su esposa.

Spain is on edge as the country awaits news on whether Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will stay in government or decide to step back. The uncertainty stems from legal proceedings opened against Sánchez’s wife, Begoña Gómez, for alleged corruption.

Sánchez is set to announce his decision on Monday after taking a five-day reflection period. In an open letter to citizens, he expressed doubts about whether the ongoing turmoil is worth it. The Spanish leader vehemently denies the corruption allegations against his wife, calling them fabrications aimed at attacking his family and persona.

The potential resignation of Sánchez has divided opinions among citizens and politicians alike. Some see it as a necessary step for the country, while others view it as a political strategy to maintain power. With no clear alternatives to replace him, Sánchez’s departure could leave his opponents without their main electoral arguments.

Beyond personal motivations, Sánchez’s decision could have a significant impact on Spain’s electoral campaign, particularly leading up to the European elections. He has proposed a wider debate on democratic regeneration in response to the allegations of corruption.

While some speculate that Sánchez could continue his political career abroad if he resigns, others believe he will not step down. Government partners have expressed their support for Sánchez, urging him to stay in office. The coming days will reveal whether Sánchez will remain at the helm of the Spanish government or make way for a new leader.
