Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez denied corruption allegations against his wife but said he will consider resigning after the launch Wednesday of a judicial investigation into accusations that she used her position to influence business deals. Sánchez said in a letter posted on his X account that while the allegations against his wife are false, he is canceling his public agenda until Monday when he will announce whether he will continue or step down.
