Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is facing a tumultuous week as he prepares for a crucial meeting with King Felipe VI in Palma de Mallorca.

This meeting, scheduled for July 30, comes on the heels of Sánchez filing a lawsuit against Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, who is investigating allegations of influence peddling and corruption involving Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez.

The Prime Minister has opted to not testify in the case, claiming the judge's actions are an attempt to undermine his presidency.

Meanwhile, the political landscape is shifting with a new agreement between the PSC and ERC to support Salvador Illa's candidacy for the presidency of Catalonia, which could lead to significant changes in the region's fiscal policies.

Following his audience with the King, Sánchez will meet with the President of the Balearic Islands, Marga Prohens, to discuss ongoing conflicts between the regional and central governments.
