Spanish Prime Minister Not Planning To Resign

Despite call for is resignation amid ongoing financial scandal

(Reuters)—Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Monday rejected calls for his resignation over a ruling party financing scandal and said he would not allow the matter to deter his reform plans.

The pressure mounted on Rajoy as the former treasurer of his People's Party gave new testimony before a judge looking into the affair, saying he handed envelopes of cash to Rajoy and other party leaders in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
