Spanish leader Pedro Sanchez secures parliamentary backing by a wafer-thin majority to form the country's first-ever coalition government
The hair-line margin of victory has raised doubts about how long the coalition government will last, as its policies require regular parliamentary approval.
"I trust that we can overcome the atmosphere of irritation and tension and that we can recover space for consensus and for agreement," Sanchez told parliament ahead of the vote. The rise of new parties in Spain over the past five years has ended decades of dominance by the Socialists and conservative People's Party over Spanish politics, making the process of forming governments and keeping them in power far harder.
