The leader of the left-wing Spanish party épodemos and his partner have survived a vote of confidence after their decision to buy a luxury house, the BBC writes.
Pablo Iglesias and Irene Montero, the party's spokeswoman, were accused of hypocritical spending 600,000 euros in a luxury house and pool.
Iglesias had previously criticised politicians living in “vila”.
Some Podemos members have said that what the couple have done has reduced the party's credibility, Periscopi broadcasts.
For this, an online vote was opened in which voters were asked: “Do you think Pablo Iglesias and Irene Montero should continue as party leader and spokeswoman?
The couple secured 68.4% of the nearly 190,000 votes cast.
The couple, who cut twins, defended the acquisition, saying that the house was for personal use and was not a speculating investment. /Periscopi
