Shouting could be heard on Madrid streets when Sanchez made his announcement in a televised address, bringing an abrupt close to a five-day drama since he said last week that he was retreating from public duty to decide whether to quit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have decided to go on, if possible even stronger as prime minister. This is not business as usual, things are going to be different,&#8221; he said. Sanchez, 52, had announced last Wednesday that he might quit in response to a corruption investigation into his wife, which he said was baseless and orchestrated by his right-wing political opponents. Adding to the melodrama, he began Monday morning by meeting King Felipe VI &#8211; a step that would have been necessary should he have decided to resign.<\/p>\n<p>In his subsequent address he said he had informed the monarch of his decision to stay, after having been encouraged by widespread expressions of support over the weekend. The furore over his future had caused turmoil in Spanish politics, where a fractious parliament has struggled to form coalition governments after close elections. Should a resignation have forced a new election, it would have been the fourth in five years.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to stay generated intense relief among Sanchez&#8217;s followers, but the episode drew fierce mockery from opponents. &#8220;Thank you for your bravery, your determination and also thank you for your humanity, prime minister,&#8221; Deputy Prime Minister Maria Jesus Montero wrote on X.<br \/>\nOpposition People&#8217;s Party (PP) leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo described Sanchez&#8217;s five-day pause for reflection as a &#8220;piece of theatre&#8221;. Madrid&#8217;s regional president Isabel Ayuso, also of the PP, dismissed Sanchez&#8217;s speech as a &#8220;joke&#8221;. &#8220;From now on we will be much stronger as a counterweight to this government that does not know its limits,&#8221; Ayuso said. Gabriel Rufian, a lawmaker for the Catalan separatist party Esquerra Republicana said the five-day melodrama could come across as &#8220;an act of frivolity&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/spains-pm-pedro-sanchez-will-announce-decision-resignation-11-am-2024-04-29\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/spains-pm-pedro-sanchez-will-announce-decision-resignation-11-am-2024-04-29\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/pedro-sanchez-stays-on-as-spains-prime-minister-after-weighing-exit\/\">Pedro Sanchez stays on as Spain\u2019s prime minister after weighing exit<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,14337,14341,7764],"class_list":["post-130086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-pedro-sanchez","tag-spains-prime-minister","tag-stay"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130086\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
