Socialist Spanish PM Refuses to Step Down Amid Corruption Probe, Vows to Clamp Down on ‘Mud Machine’ Media

Socialist Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has refused to step down amid allegations of corruption against his wife and is in turn vowing to launch a government crackdown against the right-wing online media over supposed fake news.

In a roller coaster of events, Prime Minister Sánchez announced on Monday that he would not resign after announcing last week that he was taking five days off to contemplate his political future. This followed the opening of a corruption case against his wife Begoña Gómez, who is facing claims of using her role as the unofficial but de-facto First Lady of Spain to allegedly dole out lucrative government contracts to firms she has been linked to financially.

PM of Spain has a yearly salary of 90k Euro roughly (figure $100k). On top of that, as a member of parliament....he gets 13.5k Euro a year.

I can see how he’s got his wife out there to generate extra income.

The head of the Spanish Constitutional Court makes around 40-percent more than the PM.

I would add...if you are a Spanish Senator...your monthly salary amounts to 3,204 Euro, and some extra ‘bonus’ money if you hold privileged positions (ranging from 500 to 5100 Euro a month). Speaker of the Senate for example makes 5,117 Euro a month extra.

If you ask me...the PM is a worthless job...probably averaging 60 man-hours a week, and other than free coffee/drinks...it seems to be fairly bribable.
