The Financial Times, under the headline “Spanish Prime Minister Suspends Public Duties After Wife’s Corruption Investigation,” detailed that “in an extraordinary letter to the country published on Wednesday on the social media platform : ‘At this point, the question I legitimately ask myself is: Is all this worth it?'”
On the BBC website, the information was the third most prominent, with the headline “The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, suspends his agenda while his wife faces an investigation.” The text developed that “the complaint against Begoña Gómez was filed by the anti-corruption activists of Manos Liminas, who have participated in several high-profile judicial cases in recent years and are headed by a man linked to the extreme right.”
The French Le Monde, for its part, headlined “Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says he is considering resigning after the announcement of an investigation against his wife for corruption”
A similar headline was carried by the important economic media Bloomberg and inside it detailed that “the organization that filed the legal complaint is an “extreme right group” according to Sánchez and that “the scandal has been widely covered for weeks by a group of news websites, most of which are critical of the government.
