Thousands of Spanish journalists came out Friday in support of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his wife following Sánchez’s announcement that he was considering his future as premier after a court opened preliminary proceedings against his wife on corruption allegations. Sánchez, who is to announce his future Monday, blamed the judicial probe on “spurious” attacks by right and far-right opponents in the media and political parties. In support, several thousand journalists and writers signed an online manifesto saying, “the attack by the media and judicial extreme right against the wife of the President of the Government is a new attempt to subvert the popular will expressed at the polls through illicit means.”
Despite insisting that allegations of influence peddling against his wife are false, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says he is considering stepping down, bewildering Spain.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez suspended all public duties until Monday, after a judge ordered an inquiry into alleged influence peddling by Mr. Sánchez’s wife.
