Overview

• Pedro Sánchez told Bloomberg in New York that he will run in Spain’s 2027 general election and said the decision was agreed with his family and the PSOE.
• Sánchez said he is confident he can repeat a majority in the next term despite surveys that place the PSOE behind the Partido Popular and point to a potential PP–Vox majority.
• He downplayed polling and criticized center‑right parties for adopting far‑right rhetoric, citing narratives that link migration with insecurity.
• Spanish justice has requested that his wife, Begoña Gómez, be tried for alleged embezzlement, and a judge has summoned her this Saturday as the case advances.
• The prime minister publicly defended the innocence of his wife and his brother, saying the truth will prevail and calling for equal media attention if the cases are dismissed.
