SPAIN: Political Uncertainty After Split Result #@SPAINELECTION

1 minute read


Anti-austerity party, Podemos and liberal Ciudadanos, made big gains, as the conservative Popular Party (PP) lost its majority.
Podemos Leader, Pablo Iglesias, said that “Spain is not going to be the same anymore and we are very happy”.

The PP and the Socialists had alternated running the government for more than three decades.
The parties must now embark on negotiations to form a coalition.
The PP had 28.7 per cent of the vote, the Socialists 22 per cent, Podemos 20.6 per cent and Ciudadanos 13.9 per cent.
Podemos, an anti-austerity movement born during Spain’s financial crisis, confirmed its position as a new, powerful political force.
PP Leader, Mariano Rajoy, said that he would try to form a government, insisting: “This party is still the number one force in Spain”.
But Mr Rajoy admitted that his party had taken some “difficult and even unpopular decisions” over the past four years, as Spain struggled through an economic crisis.
Socialist Leader, Pedro Sanchez, said that his party was ready to start negotiations.
“Spain wants a move to the left”, he said.
