Spain’s socialist prime minister has cancelled his public duties for the rest of the week and said he is considering resigning after a court launched an investigation into his wife for alleged influence-peddling and corruption.
Pedro Sánchez, who has led Spain since 2018, said the “seriousness of the attacks” he and his wife, Begoña Gómez, were experiencing had led him to re-evaluate his position, adding that he would reveal his decision on Monday.
