"Don't be fooled. Spain doesn't have a problem, the one with a legal problem is Mr. Sánchez", said Feijóo, in a statement to journalists on the day in which leaders of the Socialist Party (PSOE) denounced a "dirty war" by the Spanish right and far-right against the prime minister and his family, based on disinformation campaigns and personal attacks on the internet.

Feijóo, as he had already stated last Thursday, accused the leader of the socialists, Pedro Sánchez, of "absolute frivolity" for having said that he was thinking of resigning because of what he considers to be persecution and a "mud machine" by the PP and Vox (far-right).

"There are people who have problems and want to transfer them to others", said Feijóo today, who added that "the Spanish people cannot be worried about Mr. Sánchez's problems, it is Mr. Sánchez who should be worried about the problems of the citizens".

Feijóo, who was speaking to journalists in Catalonia, where the campaign for the regional elections of 12 May is underway, said that Sánchez's problems are "the alleged cases of corruption that affect his government, his party and his family".

The leader of the PP - the largest party in the Spanish parliament at the moment - also accused Sánchez of attacking judges, courts, journalists and the media and with that he is "resigning from democracy".

Pedro Sánchez revealed that he is considering resigning on Wednesday, the day in which a court confirmed the opening of a "preliminary investigation" for alleged influence peddling and corruption by his wife, Begoña Gomez, following a complaint by an organisation with links to the far-right and which the Public Prosecutor's Office has already requested to be shelved for lack of basis.

The leader of the PSOE and the government promised a statement to the country about his future on Monday.

The PSOE Federal Committee, the party's highest body between congresses, met in Madrid, without the presence of the secretary-general, to ask Sánchez not to resign and, through the voice of the party's and government's "number two", minister Jose María Montero, denounced a "dirty war" by the right and far-right against the prime minister and his family, based on disinformation campaigns that she compared to others that occurred in Brazil, the United States, Argentina and "many European countries".

While the meeting was taking place, more than ten thousand people, according to the PSOE and the local authorities, demonstrated in Madrid, to ask Pedro Sánchez not to resign.

The PP and Vox have accused Sánchez, since Wednesday, of playing the victim and putting on "a show" that embarrasses the country internationally, to divert attention from suspicions of corruption and to campaign on the eve of various elections (regional and European).
