Baku-APA. Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Monday refused to resign under mounting pressure due to allegations of illegal financing in the ruling party, media reports said, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
Rajoy vowed to "fulfill the mandate" when questioned by reporters, despite jailed former party treasurer Luis Barcenas, a once-trusted aide of Rajoy, has provided more testimony on charges including bribery, money laundering and tax fraud.
The 58-year-old prime minister has denied any wrongdoing and reluctant to comment on the issue in the past days.
According to the reports, Luis Barcenas might turn over documents to the court concerning a secret slush fund ran by the party for many years.
