Some opponents, like Isabel Diaz Ayuso, a rising figure on the Spanish right, have called Pedro Sanchez’s recent decision a “joke”. For his part, the leader of the right-wing opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, on Monday accused Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of having “made fun of the Spaniards”.
Indeed, this Monday, the politician put an end to five days of uncertainty by announcing that he remained in power despite the “campaign of discredit” that he has just suffered from the Spanish right. The reason ? The opening of a preliminary investigation for “influence peddling” and “corruption” against his wife, Begoña Gómez.
“We say ‘enough’”
The investigation was opened following a complaint from the “Manos limpias” (Clean Hands) association, a collective close to the far right. Collective which admitted to having based itself on press articles without knowing whether the information was founded.
“Either we say “enough”, or the degradation of public life will determine our future and condemn us as a country”, defended the city councilor during a nine-minute speech, before asserting that “the suspicions against his wife were the product of disinformation”.
