The supporters of the left-wing government in Spain breathe a sigh of relief. After five days of trembling, they receive a message of relief.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has not made good on his threat to resign. The socialist politician, who has been in power for almost six years, announced in Madrid that he would remain in office.
After filing a corruption complaint against his wife, the 52-year-old canceled all public appointments last Wednesday, announced a five-day cooling-off period about his political future and held out the prospect of resigning.
Sánchez: Fighting against the “swamp” in politics
“I have decided, if possible, to continue at the head of the government with even more strength,” Sánchez said in his speech at the Moncloa government palace in Madrid. The solidarity rallies held by his supporters over the weekend in Madrid and other cities also contributed to his decision, which he came to with his wife. Sánchez called for fighting against the “swamp” in politics.
The complaint against the head of government’s wife was filed on Wednesday by the organization “Manos Limpias” (Clean Hands), which is classified as very right-wing. She accuses Begoña Gómez (49), who does not hold public office, of influence and corruption in the economy. “Manos Limpias” later admitted that the ad was based on media reports that could well be false.
Sánchez then wrote on the news platform or should resign from this high honor”.
