Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Wednesday there was "no reason" to withdraw support for his predecessor Jose Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who is under investigation for corruption, following the publication of new details about the case.
"I think there is no sufficient reason, there is no reason to change that position," Sánchez told a Rome news conference after a meeting with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican.
The Socialist premier, in office since 2018, reiterated his "full cooperation with the judiciary" and respect for the presumption of innocence.
