Spain's acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has mere hours to strike a deal with his left-wing rivals to back his bid to stay in power after a failed first attempt
Spain's caretaker Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez speaks at the Spanish parliament in Madrid, Spain, Tuesday, July 23, 2019.
Sanchez, who won the most seats in an April parliamentary election but fell short of a majority, needs the support of Podemos, as well as the abstention of at least one other smaller party to reach the simple majority required to be confirmed as premier in Thursday's vote in parliament. The debate will begin at 1:30 pm local time with voting expected to take place at around 2:25 pm local time, and much can still change before then.
Formed in 2014, anti-austerity Podemos previously backed Sanchez to rule in minority after the Socialist leader came to power when the previous centre-right government was ousted last year.Podemos wants responsibilities on social policy, likely including rent caps, an increase of the minimum wage and an increase in social spending across the board.
