Will Spain’s prime minister suddenly quit?

Drama has returned with his surprise decision, on April 24th, to clear his calendar until Monday 29th when he will announce whether he plans to stay on the job. The cause of his “reflection”, he said, was an attack on his wife, Begoña Gómez. A group called Manos Limpias (“Clean Hands”), founded by a former far-right political activist, has brought an influence-peddling complaint against her, and a court is making preliminary inquiries.
