Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish Prime Minister, was re-elected as the Secretary General of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) during the party’s congress in Seville. He faced no opposition and secured 90% support from delegates. His re-election comes against the backdrop of ongoing corruption investigations involving close associates, including his wife, Begonia Gomez, and former Transportation Minister, José Luis Ábalos. Sánchez’s government lacks an absolute parliamentary majority and has faced criticism, particularly following deadly floods in southeastern Spain that occurred in late October.
