Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced that he will be taking a break from his public duties until next week to reflect on whether he should continue leading the government. This decision comes following a probe opened against his wife, Begoña Gomez, by a Spanish court.
The probe, initiated at the request of a far-right organization called Manos Limpias (Clean Hands), is investigating alleged crimes of influence peddling and corruption in Gomez's business dealings. Sanchez stated that his wife will defend herself and cooperate with the judicial system, emphasizing that the complaint appears to be based on information from certain right and far-right digital media sources.
