Spain\u2019s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Monday (April 29) that after a period of reflection about his future he had decided to continue as the country\u2019s leader.<\/p>\n
Sanchez, in power since 2018, had shocked the nation last week when he announced in a public letter on X he was taking time out from his duties to reflect on whether it was worth carrying on as prime minister.<\/p>\n
It followed news that a court had opened an investigation into allegations of influence peddling and corruption by his wife Begona Gomez. A separate court is considering an appeal by Madrid\u2019s prosecuting authority to dismiss the case for lack of evidence.<\/p>\n
He insisted his wife was innocent and accused opposition leaders Alberto Nunez Feijoo of the People\u2019s Party (PP) and Santiago Abascal of the far-right Vox party of collaborating with those circulating claims against his wife.<\/p>\n
