Spain’s PSOE Faces Delicate Path To Investiture After Election Results

The July 23rd results are, according to the PSOE, very good but at the same time very delicate. This was made clear when the party canceled its press conference on Monday to assess the election’s results, when all the press was already fully installed in the Ferraz headquarters. Statements to journalists had to be made just after Pedro Sánchez’s speech, addressed to his federal executive.

“Sunday night’s results are a message for all parties, and everyone must rest and analyse them calmly,” said Sanchez in reference to all parties which are more likely to invest in the socialist leader rather than Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the People’s Party (PP) leader. “Democracy will find the formula for governability”, said Sanchez.
