MADRID - Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s election victory delivered a shot in the arm for the Europe’s struggling left, which fears a surge by the right in this month’s European parliament elections.
While it did not win a parliamentary majority, Sanchez’s center-left party increased its seats in parliament by almost 50 percent and beat back the traditional conservative Popular Party . “His victory shows that you can count on social democrats in Europe,” German SPD head Ortsverein Achim told Reuters.
European social democrat leaders who called to congratulate Sanchez saw his victory as a success for European socialists and hoped it would improve their chances at the May 23-26 European parliament elections, according to a source at the prime minister’s office.
