Spain: Sanchez to Run for Re-Election Despite Corruption Investigations

Source: US News & World Report

“Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez intends to run for re-election in 2027 at the end of his current term, he said on Wednesday, despite the corruption investigations his government is facing. Sanchez, a Socialist, heads a minority leftist coalition government embroiled in a series of scandals, which have led the opposition to demand his resignation. ‘Yes, I am determined to run in the next general election in 2027,’ Sanchez told reporters after a question on whether he thought his government had the support of a majority of the population. Sanchez said on June 12 he would not call new elections before his current term is due to end despite the scandals ensnaring his party.” (06/25/25)
