Embattled Spanish PM Sánchez Refuses to Throw in Towel

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told the parliament during a heated extraordinary plenary session he was not planning to resign over the corruption scandals haunting his government.

Opposition parties claimed he was tainted and should go but the PM refused to do so.

He said he considered quitting but that he was convinced to stay because he had done nothing wrong and had a job to finish.

“I’m not going to throw in the towel. I’m going to keep going,” he told the plenary on July 9.
