Spain's conservative People's Party (PP) has started talks with other parties to seek their support to lead a new government while the ruling Socialist (PSOE) party said it wanted to avoid a repeat ballot after Sunday's election produced a hung parliament.
"I have initiated the talks taking into account that Spaniards have decided not to give anyone an absolute majority," Feijoo said, adding: "We will not be held hostage by anyone."Acting Prime Ministerhas more options to form a government and is expected to seek support from small Basque and Catalan separatist parties, as he did following 2019's election.
The People's Union of Navarre - which has one seat - is the only other centre-right party expected to support Feijoo's bid for the premiership, leaving him six votes short. If Sanchez can secure the five seats from the Basque Nationalist Party, six seats from Bildu and seven seats from ERC, as he did in 2020, an abstention from Junts would still be enough for his PSOE-Sumar coalition to win an investiture vote.
Puigdemont, who still wields considerable influence within Junts, said in mid-July the party would not support Sanchez. Early on Monday he tweeted that Junts is a party that keeps its word.he had as a member of the European Parliament earlier this month, paving the way for his extradition. Spain's prosecutor on Monday reissued a capture order against Puigdemont. He could face between six to 12 years in prison for embezzlement, the prosecutor's office said.
