### Sánchez Under Pressure: Resignation Calls Amid Corruption Scandals
Amidst growing corruption investigations, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez defends his position while facing mounting pressure to resign.
In an emotional address on June 12, Sánchez expressed regret over the release of audio recordings linking top party officials to dubious contracts, including the resignation of secretary Santos Cerdán, who is set to testify before the Supreme Court. With investigations now implicating others close to him, Sánchez remains defiant, insisting he will serve until the end of the legislature, despite intensified calls from opposition parties for his resignation and the overarching perception of corruption surrounding his government.
However, as pressure mounts from the right and rumblings of voter dissatisfaction grow, Sánchez's commitment to maintaining legislative support among his coalition partners may determine his fate in the coming months. Concurrently, his government is striving to meet NATO spending targets while navigating the ongoing political turmoil at home.
