Despite insisting that allegations of influence peddling against his wife are false, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says he is considering stepping down, bewildering Spain.
A Spanish judge agreed Wednesday to probe allegations of corruption made against the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez by a private group with a history of filing lawsuits mainly for right-wing causes. Begoña Gómez, 49, does not hold public office and maintains a low political profile. Manos Limpias, or “Clean Hands,” accuses Gómez of allegedly having used her position to influence business deals.
