Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Wednesday he will suspend public duties until next week to decide whether he wants to continue leading the government after a court launched a probe of his wife.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Wednesday that he was considering the possibility of resigning after a court opened a fraud investigation into his wife.
“I need to pause and think,” Sanchez in a letter shared on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, announcing that he was suspending his public duties until Monday, by which time he will have made a decision.
“I urgently need an answer to the question of whether … I should continue to lead the government or renounce this honor,” he wrote.
Why is Pedro Sanchez’ wife being investigated?
The announcement came after a Spanish court said earlier on Wednesday that it was launching a preliminary investigation into whether Begona Gomez had abused her position as the Prime Minister’s spouse to allegedly secure sponsors for a university master’s degree course that she ran.
“Phrasing!”
Brilliant phrasing…
That headline didn’t come out right…
Hope she has a grand time
Fucking hell… and in America we might get Trump again? My jealousy for a responsible government knows no bounds.
Problem is, this really seems to be a real “witch hunt” chase. This method by the way already worked to take down the vice president on the previous legislature in Spain, chasing court cases based on fake proof, that in the end and after many years of useless investigations and harassment, were closed due to lack of any proof. But not before they forced the VP to resign due to the personal (and his wife’s) continuous attacks. So, in short…this method…works.
That’s because probing your wife is a private duty.
Cue Monty Python:
“This for your benefit!”

Dear @PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks-
Piped seems to be blocked by YT these days. Would you consider changing to something else that hasn’t been blocked yet, like skipvids?
