Given the issues happening in Spain with their migration crisis and the new mass citizenship, Pedro is facing really bad popularity. Looks like their powers that be may be trying to move on from him using his wife as a proxy.

Spanish PM Sanchez's wife charged with corruption
Begoña Gmez, the wife of Spanish far-left Prime Minister Pedro Snchez, has been formally charged with multiple corruption-related offenses, including influence peddling, business corruption, embezzlement, and misappropriation.
The investigation began in April 2024 following a complaint by the anti-corruption group Manos Limpias, which accused Gmez of using her position to influence public contracts and secure university sponsorships.
At the time, Pedro Snchez took a five-day "period of reflection" to consider resigning over the allegations before ultimately deciding to remain in office.
