Pedro Sánchez has decided to continue as Spain’s prime minister after spending five days reflecting on his future because of what he described as a “harassment and bullying operation” being waged against him and his wife by his political and media enemies.when he shared a personal letter explaining that he was withdrawing from his public duties for a few days to weigh up whether or not he wanted to remain in office.
In a statement delivered after he went to see King Felipe on Monday morning, Sánchez said he had decided to carry on as prime minister despite the attacks he and his family have had to endure. “It is thanks to this social mobilisation that has so decisively influenced my reflections – and of which I am once again grateful – that I want to let you know what I’ve decided,” he said. “As I told the head of state this very morning, I have decided to stay on as Spain’s prime minister and to stay on with even more strength than before – if that’s possible.”
“Today, I’m asking Spanish society for us once again to set an example for a convulsed and wounded world because the evils that afflict us are far from exclusive to Spain. They are part of a global reactionary movement that wants to impose its retrograde agenda through defamation and falsehoods, through hatred and through stirring up fears and threats that have nothing to do with science or reason.
Feijóo, who has accused Sánchez of navel-gazing, melodrama and failing to live up to his office, said the prime minister’s words and deeds were proof of the need for a change of government.
