USPA NEWS -
The acting President of the Spanish Government, Mariano Rajoy, believes that "the ideal and most sensible" after the legislative elections on June 26, which will be convened on Tuesday by King Philip VI, is that there is a new Government in late July.
In an informal conversation with journalists during the reception on the occasion of the holiday of the region of Madrid, held on Monday, Rajoy said that "normal" would be that negotiations between parties will begin immediately after the results of the election are know. What can't be repeated, Rajoy said, it is what happened the last four months. The conservative Popular Party (PP), which supports the Government of Mariano Rajoy, believes will win the election, as polls predict, but considers that will not have enough majority to govern alone, so they need to negotiate.
Although Rajoy still committed to a grand coalition between the Popular Party and the Socialist Party, the refusal of the Socialist secretary general, Pedro Sanchez, a pact with the PP, left conservatives in the hands of Citizens. The president of this party, Albert Rivera, who also attended the commemoration of the Day of Madrid, insisted that there must be regeneration because there will be no political stability in Spain if "changes nothing", regarding the candidacy of Rajoy a new mandate. Rivera gave the example of regeneration to Madrid, where the Popular Party governs with the support of Citizens, and stressed that "the votes of Citizens can change things."
The legislative elections will be called by the King Philip VI on Tuesday after midnight Monday to end the four-month period set by the Constitution for the formation of Government. With the decree of dissolution of Parliament will end the Spanish XI Legislature, the shortest of the recent democratic history. Parliament will only work with 121 deputies who form the Standing Committee, the governing body between legislatures. Other 229 deputies shall be dismissed and may seek compensation for it. Political parties have until May 13 to submit candidatures. The election campaign will start at midnight on June 10 and Spaniards must go to the polls on 26 that month.
