MOSSAD or Corruption could force the resignation of Spain’s Prime Minister

Has MOSSAD struck after the Spanish premier through his weight behind the Palestinian State? Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez considers his future after the latest corruption case opened against his wife.

Sánchez announced in a letter posted on X that he was considering his position after the latest corruption investigation into his wife.

A Spanish journalist tells Remix News there may be another reason for the announcement Spain’s Socialist Prime Minister Sánchez has announced he is suspending his public duties to reflect on whether it is worth continuing to lead his country’s government after a Spanish court began another anti-corruption investigation into his wife’s affairs.

The Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) leader bemoaned a court in Madrid of reopening investigations into his wife, Begoña Gómez, at the request of right-wing organization Clean Hands and called the allegations ‘as scandalous as they are non-existent.’

Sánchez accused his political opponents, Alberto Núñez Feijóo of the Spanish People’s Party (PP), and Santiago Abascal, leader of VOX, of political point-scoring.

The allegations against Sánchez’s wife were first reported by center-right news outlet El Confidencial, which revealed she met with the bosses of several private companies that went on to receive government funding or public contracts from Sánchez’s regime.

One example involves two meetings with Javier Hidalgo, the chief executive of a tourism holding company before Sánchez’s government granted the Hidalgo family’s airline, Air Europa, a taxpayer bailout of nearly €500 million.

After claiming that Feijóo and Abascal were slinging mud at their political opponent, he wrote, ‘I legitimately ask myself, is all this worth it? I need to stop and reflect if I should continue at the head of the Government or resign from,’ he added.

Sanchez explained he would be canceling his public duties until Monday, April 29, when he will announce whether he intends to continue in office.

VOX leader Santiago Abascal said he wasn’t clear whether Sánchez was stepping back to reflect or to prepare his legal defense because he should have been sitting on a (prison) bench for a long time and not on the blue (parliamentary) bench.

‘We do not know if this is another of his maneuvers to present himself as a victim to silence the Spaniards’ indignation. But what we do know, and we will never forget, is that he is the president who achieved the inauguration with the greatest act of political corruption ever seen, amnestying criminals in exchange for votes,’ Abascal wrote on X.

Spanish journalist and political analyst Rubén Pulido had another possible explanation, which took much of his inner circle by surprise. He suggested that the Spanish prime minister was pre-empting the negative outcome of a re-opened investigation by the Spanish High Court on Tuesday into the Pegasus spyware scandal.

The spyware, developed by the Israeli company NSO, made headlines back in 2022 when several top politicians in Sánchez’s cabinet were reportedly hacked and sensitive information was obtained by foreign agents. Pulido said, ‘Sánchez is not thinking of resigning because of his wife’s possible court cases, Sánchez is thinking of resigning for fear of the consequences of a new investigation into Morocco’s spying on his mobile phone.

‘Now, he also has Israel as an enemy, don’t forget that Israel developed the software used by Morocco to spy on the Spanish government. Sánchez fears that sensitive information about him or part of his administration as prime minister will come to light,’ he added.
