Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has publicly acknowledged that he considered resigning and calling early elections amid political pressures but ultimately decided against it, stating that "throwing in the towel is never an option." Sánchez described himself as a "clean politician" and affirmed his commitment to continue leading the government. His stance comes amid ongoing scrutiny related to corruption cases involving members of his party. Former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero defended Sánchez, noting that calls for his resignation began even before Sánchez became head of government. Meanwhile, Second Vice President Yolanda Díaz has expressed cautious support for Sánchez, describing him as "a clean man" and praising the current administration as an exception globally. However, Díaz also emphasized prudence regarding the unfolding "Koldo case" and declined to fully endorse Sánchez without knowing all details, stating that governing is more than just enduring crises. Díaz has criticized the opposition Popular Party (PP) for allegedly encouraging the far-right Vox party, asserting that democracy requires a firm stance against extremist forces.
