| Description | Pedro Sánchez has decided to continue as Spain’s prime minister after spending five days reflecting on his future because of what he described as a “harassment and bullying operation” being waged against him and his wife by his political and media enemies.
The socialist prime minister shocked Spain last Wednesday when he shared a personal letter explaining that he was withdrawing from his public duties for a few days to weigh up whether or not he wanted to remain in office.
Sánchez posted his letter to social media hours after a Madrid court said it had opened a preliminary investigation into his wife, Begoña Gómez, “for the alleged offence of influence peddling and corruption”.
The investigation followed a complaint from the pressure group Manos Limpias (Clean Hands), a self-styled trade union with far-right links that has a long history of using the courts to pursue those it deems to be acting against Spain’s democratic interests. |
