Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is facing a veritable corruption scandal smorgasbord, with his wife summoned for preliminary hearings and his brother on trial alongside nine others for corruption and abuse of power. The brother's 2017 hiring as a 'regional music coordinator' — apparently a position requiring expertise in harmonizing bribes — has prosecutors singing a different tune.

Sánchez has defended his family members by pointing out that the accusations originated from far-right organizations, because apparently the source of corruption allegations matters more than their veracity. With eight years as PM under his belt, Sánchez has clearly mastered the art of political survival, though one wonders if his family dinner conversations require legal counsel present.
