On the hot-seat was Prime Minister of Spain – Pedro Sanchez who had announced his desire for resignation after a legal facade which his wife was caught into triggered flurry of backlash from the far-right opposition, but on Monday he publicly extinguished his flaming desire
A week in Spain showered enough catastrophe for the countrymen who started fearing that it might be the beginning of a political fallout. Demonstrators in huge numbers outpoured their support for the incumbent Prime Minister of Spain- Pedro Sanchez after he got himself entangled in a web of accusations from the far-right opposition.
Pedro exclaiming the accusations as “meaningless propaganda” inflamed by right-wing funded media labels who are using false journalism to wage war against the sitting P.M and his wife on account of absurd speculations were unworthy of any rumination. Madrid court on Wednesday opened a preliminary investigation into Pedro’s wife – Begona Gomez alleging her of unlawful peddling of corruption.
The ideological warfare between the hard-left socialist Pedro Sanchez and his right-wing opposition spiraled out-of-hand when Pedro published a letter on Wednesday night -pronouncing his desire to abandon his public duties for five days while he contemplates on his next course-of-action, to either stay or forfeit his ‘minister-ship’, adding that he will reveal his decision on Monday.
Complaints forged against Spain PM’s wife had “worn him out”
The investigation accusing Begona Gomez of alleged corruption was followed by a complaint from Spain’s self-styled trade union group – Manos Limpias (Clean Hands) who pondered upon those accusations with mindful occupation. It is a group which has a long-running links with right-wing capacitators. Pedro, in his letter, accused his opposition leaders from conservative People’s party (PP) and Vox Party for sponsoring Manos Limpias for ridiculous advertisement of their personal advocacy.
The union also accused Gomez of using her power and influence as the wife of the prime minister to gather sponsors to help her fund her master’s degree university course. This particular allegation was admitted inaccurate by Manos Limpias commanding, “based upon insufficient data.” This back and forth orchestration of allegations against prime minister’s family , the environment minister, Teresa Ribera, says “had worn him out.”
Maybe it was his exhaustion which had forced him to think about quitting his ministerial position wondering some good it can do to him and his family. But the outlandish support which followed after his shocking announcement reinstated his lost confidence. On Monday, Pedro Sanchez re-adrenalized his disheartened supporters with his long-standing speech, “I have decided, to continue, with even more strength, as the head of the Presidency of the Government of Spain.”
Spain P.M reaffirms his position after “Pro-Pedro” supporters jammed streets
The Wednesday letter flagged a ground base for nationwide supporters who came in their democratic spirits to sing songs asserting their discontentment regarding Pedro’s shocking announcement. They joined in a “Pro-Pedro” campaign reinforcing their confidence in the incumbent prime minister’s leadership.
Messages of support have also been extended by prominent international left-wing leaders, who have all stood in solidarity with their eastern coast business-mate. “Your strength, and your role are important for your country, for Europe and for the world”, said Brazilian president. Some 12,000 supporters stood under sweltering heat outside the socialist party’s Madrid headquarter to express their unwavering backing for Pedro, while many hardcore opposers landed their unabashed critic of Pedro accusing him of being “melodramatic and self-obsessed.”
A poll commission by People Party leader to ideate on the possibility of Pedro resigning was enrolled by 1,527 people of which 54% voted in favor of his continued leadership while minority rested with people favoring his resignation. The impending European Union election was defined as a catalyst for causing Pedro to emotionally manipulate its supporters and make a false-attempt to shore up his leadership.
