Pedro Sanchez decides to stay
Pedro Sanchez announces that he continues to hold the post of head of government, despite a letter in which he announced his decision to reflect on the "persecution of his wife by the extreme right" Begonia Gomez
"It's about what kind of society we want to be"
"I decide to continue, as much as possible with more perseverance. We are not talking about the fate of a particular leader. It's about deciding what kind of society we want to be. Our country needs such an understanding. "We have allowed dirt to pollute our public life for too long."
"I ask the Spanish society to be an example again. The evil we suffer from is part of a global movement. Let's show the world how democracy is protected."
Pedro Sanchez announced in an official statement on Monday that he remains head of government after a five-day period of reflection on his succession to the post. The president condemned the “campaign of discredit" against him and his wife Begonia Gomez. “This campaign of discrediting will not stop. We can go with her," he said, referring to himself and his wife. “The important thing is that we want to thank you for the expressions of solidarity received from all sides. Thanks to this mobilization, I decided to stay on as president. She also thanked for the messages of support she received over the weekend, which she said influenced her decision. In his speech, he also called for decency in political life. “It's about deciding what kind of society we want to be. Our country needs such reflections. We have allowed dirt to pollute our public life for too long."”
