MADRID (AP) — Spain is in nail-biting suspense Monday as it waits for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to announce whether he will continue in office or not.
Sánchez shocked the country on Thursday, announcing he was taking five days off to think about his future after a court opened preliminary proceedings against his wife on corruption allegations.
The legal complaint against his wife, Begoña Gómez, was filed by a far-right legal platform that says Gómez used her position to influence business deals.
The group, Manos Limpias, or “Clean Hands,” acknowledged that the complaint was based on newspaper articles. Spanish prosecutors say it should be thrown out.
Sánchez said the move was too personal an attack on his family and he needed time to decide on his priorities.
He will announce his decision Monday at a time yet to be decided.
Sánchez essentially has four options: resign, seek a parliamentary vote of confidence, call a new election or remain in office.
