Spain’s prime minister will stay in office. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says he will continue in office “even with more strength” after days of reflection. Mr. Sánchez shocked the country last week when he said he was taking five days off to think about his future after a court opened preliminary proceedings against his wife on corruption allegations. The legal complaint against his wife Begoña Gómez was filed by a well-known far right-wing legal platform that says Ms. Gómez used her position to influence business deals.
