Spain’s Socialist Party PSOE yesterday afternoon reached a preliminary coalition deal with the Unidas Podemos to form a government. This was reached within 48 hours of Sunday's general election, as PSOE leader Pedro Sanchez had said earlier.
Sanchez will be President and Podmos' leader Pablo Iglesias will be vice-President.
Other smaller parties are being brought in, as the coalition needs to have a majority in the Spanish parliament.
The PSOE could have struck a coalition with Podemos instead of calling a general election, but Sanchez wanted to have an all-PSOE government. Read more

Should we all breath a sigh of relief because the PSOE party overcame the far-right VOX surge in Sunday’s Spanish elections, I don’t think so?
I do not agree we should be patting Pedro Sanchez on the back, not only because he has emerged politically weaker having made an almighty cock-up when he called the national election in Spain. But mainly, because I am against Gibraltar extending neighbourly political gestures or niceties at every opportunity, when absolutely nothing has changed with the Spanish Political attitude and position towards Gibraltar. I have this information from a reliable Spanish political source and other related news. A story that will feature in a future Panorama report. Read more
