Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez vowed to “defeat corruption in and out” as he announced a reshuffle within Socialist Party ranks — even as an ally was forced to resign over sexual harassment allegations.
“My biggest mistake has been to trust who I shouldn’t have trusted, but my determination against corruption is total, wherever it might come from,” Sanchez said in an address in Madrid on Saturday to the party’s federal committee, a key decision-making body.
