In a startling development from Spain, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has announced his intention to step down following a series of corruption allegations against his wife, Begoña Gómez. The Madrid court began investigating after suspicions arose about her amassing illicit assets. Sánchez stated, "I need to decide whether to continue leading the government or to step down," in a recent post, indicating his resignation would be confirmed next Monday. This decision comes as authorities scrutinize Gómez's dealings with several private companies that allegedly received government funds or contracts. The anti-corruption group Manos Limpias has filed a complaint, leading to this inquiry.
