Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has said that he would not resign, putting an end to a period of political uncertainty that has captivated the nation.

Sanchez made this declaration during a public address on Monday, following days of speculation about his future in office.

Sanchez, who has led Spain since 2018, had previously hinted at stepping down after a court in Madrid initiated a preliminary investigation into his wife Begona Gomez’s alleged influence peddling and corruption.

The Socialist leader, ancak, clarified that his contemplation of resignation was not a strategic political maneuver but a moment to reflect on the increasing polarization and the spread of deliberate disinformation within the polity.

“For too long we’ve let this filth corrupt our political and public life with toxic methods that were unimaginable just a few years ago… Do we really want this for Spain?” Sanchez said, emphasizing the need to confront the degradation of public discourse. “I have acted out of a clear conviction: either we say ‘enough is enough’ or this degradation of public life will define our future and condemn us as a country,"dedi.

His decision to remain in office was significantly influenced by a large demonstration of support at the Madrid headquarters of his Socialist Party, where supporters passionately chanted, “Pedro, stay!”

Sanchez’s reaffirmation of his leadership role comes at a crucial time as he prepares to lead his party into the upcoming regional elections in Catalonia on May 12, where the Socialists aim to challenge the pro-independence forces currently in power.
