Pedro Sanchez Spanish Prime Minister has suspended his public duties because he will consider whether to resign from his post until Monday after a court investigates his wife’s involvement in a corruption case.

About the judicial investigation Pedro Sánchez reported on X yourself, wrote in his statement that preliminary proceedings were initiated against his wife following a report by a “far-right organization” called Manos Limpios (Clean Hands). According to him, the report was based on “alleged information from ultraconservative media outlets”, against which, “due to their untruthfulness”, his wife took legal action. “I am not naive, I am aware that Begoña was not reported because he did something illegal, but because she is my wife; they also know that there is no case,” MTI quoted Sánchez.

He concluded his letter by saying that he should reconsider whether he should remain prime minister. He has canceled all public events for the next five days and will announce his decision on Monday.
