Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is facing mounting political pressure as corruption investigations involving family members, former allies and senior Socialist Party figures continue to dominate headlines.
At the same time, Pope Leo is about to go to Spain for a high-profile visit that is expected to focus on migration, social justice and Spain’s role in Europe.

Carlos de Vega, deputy video editor at El País and one of Spain’s leading political journalists, joins DW’s The Day to assess Sanchez’s political future, the corruption allegations surrounding his government and whether Pope Leo’s visit could provide a temporary political boost.
