Pedro Sánchez will need allies in Spain's 350-seat Congress if he wants to tackle tough problems. They will be hard to come by
on April 28th, with the vote-count in the general election all but over, the scenes outside the headquarters of Spain’s two main political parties said it all. “We’ve sent a message to Europe and the world…that you can defeat reaction [and] authoritarianism,” Pedro Sánchez told a cheering crowd of several hundred activists from his Socialist party.
Mr Sánchez insisted he had done no deals with the separatists—their failure to support his budget triggered the election—and will never agree to an independence referendum. He said the issues were “concord” and social justice after the spending cuts following the economic slump of 2009-13. In the event, the spectre of Vox helped Mr Sánchez mobilise his voters.
A stronger, but politically harder, option would be a coalition with Ciudadanos. This week Mr Rivera again ruled that out. Socialist activists listening to Mr Sánchez outside party headquarters chanted “Not with Rivera”. But the main business organisations have urged both men to reconsider, or at least that Ciudadanos abstain to allow Mr Sánchez to be invested as prime minister.
