In a dramatic twist in Spanish politics, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has hinted at the possibility of resigning after a judicial investigation targeted his wife, Begoña Gómez, over allegations of influence peddling and corruption. The probe, initiated by a right-wing legal platform, has stirred significant controversy and debate across the nation.
Earlier this Wednesday, Madrid's court announced the commencement of a preliminary investigation into accusations against Gómez. These allegations suggest she might have leveraged her position to sway business dealings to her benefit. The legal complaint, brought forward by the conservative group Manos Limpias, or "Clean Hands," claims that Gómez secured undue advantages from Air Europa and its parent company Globalia during her tenure at an African research centre.
