BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has denied corruption allegations against his wife but says he will consider resigning after a judicial investigation was launched into accusations by a right-wing legal platform that she used her position to influence business deals.  Sánchez says in a letter posted on his X account that while the allegations against his wife Begoña Gómez are false, he is canceling his public agenda until Monday when he will announce whether he will continue or step down. The left-wing politician says political rivals have turned politics into a “mud pit” and that he has to decide whether he wants to continue in government.
