Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has said he will suspend public duties to "stop and reflect" on whether he wants to continue in frontline politics, in a letter shared on his X social media acccount. "I urgently need an answer to the question of whether it is worthwhile (...) whether I should continue to lead the government or renounce this honour," he said in the letter.
The shock announcement came after a Spanish court said earlier on Wednesday it was launching a preliminary investigation into whether Sanchez's wife Begona Gomez committed a crime of influence peddling and corruption in business in her private dealings.
