The English weekly The Economist published an article on Thursday calling for Spanish President Pedro Sanchez to "step aside" following the cases of corruption that affect their environment. The London-based outlet asserts that Spanish democracy is experiencing a state of "political paralysis" following the indictment of the last two PSOE organizing secretaries and needs renewal. For this reason, it proposes two options: the Socialists appoint a "new leader" or bring forward the elections.
