MADRID, April 29 (NNN-XINHUA) — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced on Monday morning that he would retain his role despite what he considers to be unjustified attacks on his wife Begona Gomez from right and the far-right opponents.
Sanchez visited King Felipe VI of Spain earlier in the morning, before confirming his decision in a declaration made from his official residence at the Palacio de la Moncloa on the outskirts of Madrid.
Sanchez announced last Wednesday that he was cancelling his public duties until this week to “reflect” on whether to remain in his position, after a Spanish court said it had opened a probe against his wife for reported influence trafficking. — NNN-XINHUA
