According to a report from the European version of the US “Political News Network” on the 29th local time, Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez addressed the country that day and announced that he would continue to serve as prime minister. Sanchez had previously said he was “considering resigning” as his wife Gomez was investigated for corruption. In his speech, Sanchez also condemned the political situation in Spain, “If our politics consists of attacking innocent people, then politics is worthless.”
Sanchez’s latest statement ends his five-day “cooling-off period behind closed doors.” On the 24th local time, Sanchez issued a statement saying that after Gomez was investigated for suspected commercial bribery and corruption, he was considering whether to continue to lead the Spanish government. He said, “As a man who loves his wife deeply, I can only live helplessly as some people slander her day after day.” For this reason, Sanchez canceled all official arrangements from the 24th to the 28th and did not attend any official activities. On the 27th local time, tens of thousands of supporters waved banners at the entrance of the Socialist Workers Party headquarters in Madrid and shouted Sanchez’s slogans such as “Don’t give up” and “You are not alone.” Montero, deputy secretary-general of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party, said outside the party’s headquarters, “Prime Minister, stay, we are with you!”
The European version of the American “Political News Network” reported on the 29th that Sanchez remained as prime minister, ending the tense atmosphere that had shrouded the Spanish political arena for several days. If he resigns, Spain could enter an era of unprecedented political uncertainty. Sanchez’s supporters are delighted that he remains in office, but others say the political battles ahead are unpredictable.
