Then he added that he needed to thinkwhether he should "continue to lead the government or give up this high honor.

Over the weekend, thousands of people took to the streets of Madrid and other cities across the country to protest for Sanchez to remain in office. Demonstrators carried placards with inscriptions such as "Sanchez, yes, continue" or "Don't give up.

According to the constitution, King Felipe VI will have to consult with party leaders after Sánchez's resignation to propose a successor to the parliament. At the same time, it cannot be ruled out that Sánchez will remain in office and ask the parliament to pass a vote of confidence or call early elections.
