On June 8, local time, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's government protests demanded an early general election, as the ruling party, government and Sanchez's family continue to be accused of a series of corruption allegations.
According to the central government, the protest launched by the conservative People's Party (PP) attracted about 45,000-50,000 participants, while the organizers said the number was up to 100,000.
Among the participants in the parade, there were many banners and slogans opposing the Spanish government. Amidst that chaotic atmosphere and hot weather, PP leader Alberto Nuñez Feijoo has repeatedly called for early elections.
The Spanish government has since taken a number of steps to mitigate the impact of the protests.
A high-altitude image posted by Transport Minister oscar Puente shows that the square is still crowded but cannot reach the threshold of 100,000 people.
Meanwhile, Digital Transformation Ministero scar Lopez wrote that the protest was aimed at distracting public opinion from Mr. Feijoo's poor performance.
However, the fact that Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialist Workers' Party of Spain (PSOE) is under a lot of public pressure is still going on.
The situation became more serious after a former party member, Ms. Leire Diaz, was accused of plotting a campaign to defame the Guardia Civil police unit - the force that is investigating some relatives of Mr. Pedro Sanchez for being accused of corruption.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's wife - Ms. Begoña Gomez - is being investigated for allegations of corruption and abuse of influence, after the Manos Limpias organization filed a complaint against the act of taking advantage of her position as the prime minister's wife to seek sponsorship for a graduate program she runs.
Meanwhile, Mr. David Sanchez, the younger brother of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, is also facing trial for alleged abuse of influence and other crimes, also stemming from the lawsuit of Manos Limpias and other groups.
