«I will continue to lead the country with firmness and serenity»

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that he had “decided to continue leading the government of Spain”. «My wife and I – he continued – know that this discredit campaign will not stop, we have been subjected to it for 10 years. She is Grave.” Sanchez then expressed appreciation for “the solidarity and empathy that has arrived from everywhere.” After the opening of an investigation based on the complaint of alleged corruption and influence peddling, brought by the Manos Limpias union, against his wife, Sanchez announced in a 4-page letter to citizens posted on Wednesday on reflection, which kept the country in suspense. «It is urgent for me to answer the question of whether it is worth it, despite the quagmire in which the extreme and far right claim to transform politics. If I have to continue leading the government or give up this great honor”, the prime minister wrote in the letter.

The speech

“I don’t blush to say it, I am a man deeply in love with my wife, who lives helplessly with the mud they throw at her every day,” he added. Over the weekend he received demonstrations of support both from his party’s Federal Committee and from thousands of demonstrators mobilized in front of the PSOE headquarters and the Congress of Deputies. Sanchez thanked “for the demonstrations of solidarity”. And he assured that his decision to stay represents “a full stop”, to “demand unconditional resistance” against the mud machine driven by the right and “to place the focus on the victims and not on the attackers”. “This campaign of discredit will not end”, said the prime minister. “But we can win it,” he concluded.
