PP leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo claimed the right to try to form a government as the most voted party in the election, though he seemed even more unlikely to put together a majority. The 51-year-old had to mount a mutiny among rank-and-file Socialists to return to heading his party before he won Spain's only no-confidence vote to oust his Popular Party predecessor in 2018. Sanchez can add this election night to yet another comeback in his career that has been built around beating the odds. Instead, he stunned his rivals by moving up the vote in hopes of gaining a bigger boost from his supporters. The backward-looking bloc that wanted to undo all that we have done has failed," Sanchez told a jubilant crowd gathered at Socialists' headquarters in Madrid.Īfter his party took a beating in regional and local elections in May, Sanchez could have waited until December to face a national vote.


"Spain and all the citizens who have voted have made themselves clear. Sanchez could likely call on the 31 seats of its junior coalition partner Sumar (Joining Forces) and several smaller parties to at least total more than the sum of the right-wing parties, but also would fall four short of a majority unless Junts joined them. The Socialists were set to take 122 seats, two more than they previously held. Even with the 33 seats that the far-right Vox was poised to get and the one seat going to an allied party, the PP would still be seven seats short of a majority. With 98% of votes counted, the Popular Party was on track for 136 seats. "We won't make Pedro Sanchez PM in exchange for nothing," Miriam Nogueras of Junts said. But if Junts asked for a referendum on independence for northeast Catalonia, that would likely be far too costly a price for Sanchez to pay. The divided results have made the Catalan separatist party Junts (Together) key to Sanchez forming a government. It's now or never."īut the chances of Sanchez picking up the support of the 176 lawmakers needed to have an absolute majority in the Madrid-based Lower House of Parliament are not great. "I don't want to vote again in a few weeks. Now we are (practically) tied, but let's see if we can still govern," said Fernandez, a lawyer. Past performance is a poor indicator of future performance."It was always going to be difficult.
