Sanchez said in a “letter to citizens” on Wednesday that he would step aside “for a few days” to decide whether he wants to continue leading the government after a court launched a business corruption probe into the private businesses of his wife. He said it was part of a sustained smear campaign against him and his family by political opponents.
Sanchez denies the allegations against his wife, Begona Gomez, and said he would announce his decision on his future on Monday.
“Stay, Pedro, Prime Minister, stay. We are with you,” said Maria Jesus Montero, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Treasury, at a meeting of the Socialist Party’s federal committee at its headquarters in Madrid, reports Reuters.
Outside, euphoric supporters thronged the streets and sang popular pop songs urging Sanchez to stay, with many flags waving, many with their faces painted red.
About 12,500 supporters took part in the demonstration, according to the Spanish government.
“I hope he continues, because Spain has to continue with him. If not, it scares me. We are afraid of what might come,” Leonor Romero, 56, a councilor in Huelva, southern Spain, told Reuters.
“He must continue. I think he will not resign. He will leave us orphans,” said Jose Luis Trigo, 74, a pensioner.
“I ask all citizens not to be fooled. Spain does not have a problem, the one who has a judicial problem is Sanchez, his government, his party and his circle. Let them solve it,” said Alberto Nuñez Feijoo, leader of the conservative opposition Popular Party, at a meeting in Tarragona, Catalonia.
Madrid prosecutors said Thursday they are appealing a municipal court’s decision Wednesday to examine the private complaint filed by a far-right activist group against Gomez for alleged influence peddling and business corruption.
