The Socialist Party said it will begin an investigation immediately<\/a>, but said no official complaints had been made.<\/p>\n

The latest incident is a fresh blow for S\u00e1nchez, who was due to speak at the party\u2019s headquarters in Madrid as the news broke. Reuters reported<\/a> that S\u00e1nchez spoke an hour later than scheduled, and called for any woman suffering sexual abuse to report it<\/a> via the party\u2019s official channels. He did not mention Salazar directly.<\/p>\n

S\u00e1nchez publicly apologized<\/a> last month for the party\u2019s recent corruption scandals including senior party figures. The Spanish prime minister, who leads a minority coalition government, has repeatedly come under fire for the scandals.<\/p>\n

The main opposition party, the center-right Peoples\u2019 Party, has accused S\u00e1nchez<\/a> of being a \u201ccapo\u201d leading a \u201cmafia\u201d administration, while protests in Madrid organized by the PP<\/a> last month drew tens of thousands.<\/p>\n

Even from within his own party, politicians from Spain\u2019s cities and regions have called for<\/a> S\u00e1nchez to hold snap national elections \u2014 even while knowing their party would be virtually guaranteed to lose<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The speech at the Socialist Party\u2019s headquarters was intended to draw a line under<\/a> the recent scandals and announce a shake-up of the party to bolster its reputation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Socialist Party said it will begin an investigation immediately, but said no official complaints had been made.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":41520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[17749,17628,90,50,8960,21978,20185,128,32802,103],"class_list":{"0":"post-41519","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-cities","9":"tag-corruption","10":"tag-elections","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-pedro-sanchez","13":"tag-regions-cohesion","14":"tag-sexual-harassment","15":"tag-spain","16":"tag-spanish-politics","17":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114802325115527506","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
