Spanish PM Sánchez weighs options amid wife’s corruption accusations

FALCON POWERS – The key question is what will 52-year-old Sánchez, one of Europe’s longest-serving Socialist leaders, decide to do on Monday.

Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez left Spain in suspense after announcing he may step down because of what he called an “unprecedented smear campaign” against his wife.

Sánchez, who has been in office since 2018, stunned the nation on Wednesday by announcing that he was cancelling all official events until next week, when he will unveil his future plans.

The announcement came hours after a Madrid provincial judge agreed to study allegations of corruption brought by a right-wing group against Sánchez’s wife, Begoña Gómez.
