Spain: king announces new consultations to form a Government – Deutsche Welle

The king wants to talk with the parties with parliamentary representation, to establish if there is a candidate that has the support necessary for the Congress of Deputies (…) give him your trust”, reported the Royal Household in a statement. “Or, in the absence of a proposed candidate, to proceed to the dissolution of both Chambers and call for new general elections in the time that constitutionally appropriate”, indicates the text.

After the publication of the statement, the president of Congress, Ana Pastor, gave a press conference in which he announced that in the afternoon of this Tuesday will begin to contact the parliamentary groups to set the format, the order and the protagonists of the round of consultations.

the Shepherd did not advance what days you could be in the discussion although the date of the consultation leaves very little margin, only a week, because the 31 of October just the limit set by the Constitution to form a Government.

If not form then a coalition of parties strong enough to achieve a majority in the Congress, on November 1, will be convened for the election, which would be the third in a year, after the repetition has already occurred in June.

third, how will the charm?

Since the elections held in December last, the Spanish parties have not achieved an agreement of Government, because none account for yourself with the most necessary and not have secured partnerships that allow. The Executive of the conservative Mariano Rajoy is maintained since then in functions.

All indications are that, in the case of a new attempt to form a Government, will be the own Rajoy who lead, as it did last August. Then, only won the support of the liberal Citizens and coalición Canaria, but now he could add the support or the abstention of others, such as the Socialist Party (PSOE). You need the abstention of at least 11 deputies.

The second party with the most votes is immersed in an internal crisis after the resignation a few days ago its leader, Pedro Sanchez, by the division of training among those who are opposed to a conservative Government and those who are willing to lend their support to Rajoy to end the political blockade.

The socialists will decide in the coming days on a federal committee what will be the position of the party in the event that Rajoy may come back. As recently stated the president of the management company that now runs the party, Javier Fernandez, is “impossible to another option of the Government,” that the Rajoy stressed and to refrain from “is not support”.

A hypothetical change of stance of the PSOE, which would provide the investiture of Mariano Rajoy as president of the Government is the key to open the tight time schedule of just a week, which would prevent the call to a third election.
