Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced on Wednesday that he plans to run for re-election when his term ends in 2027, in spite of the corruption scandals embroiling his Socialist party.
“I am determined to run in the next general election in 2027,” Sanchez told reporters on Wednesday.

In the latest in a series of scandals, Sanchez is currently under investigation for alleged graft in his Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE). While Sanchez — who has served as prime minister since 2018 — has not been directly implicated, the country’s opposition has called on him to resign, according to BBC News.
