A Crucial Decision
The Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has taken a crucial decision that could have a significant impact on Spain’s political future. In the midst of the open investigation against his wife, Begoña Gómez, Sánchez has announced the cancellation of his public agenda to reflect on the possibility of resigning from the presidency of the Executive.
Possible scenarios
Resign and Nominate a Senior Candidate
If Sánchez chooses to resign, he could do so without calling an election. This would open the door to the proposal of another candidate for the investiture, with the possibility of reconfiguring the current political landscape.
Call Elections
Another option would be to announce the end of the legislature and call elections, although this could not be done until May 29, according to the established legal framework.
Motion of Confidence
Sánchez could also resort to a motion of confidence to seek the support of Congress and strengthen his position as Prime Minister.
Continue in office
The fourth option would be for Sánchez to decide to continue in office, despite the difficulties and political pressures he may face.
Implications and Uncertainties
Sánchez’s decision not only affects his personal political future, but also has significant implications for Spanish politics in general. The different open scenarios pose uncertainties and challenges for the various political forces in the country.
