Definitely closes the door to a Government agreement in Spain

USPA NEWS - The last week deadline for the Spanish political parties reach an agreement allowing form a Government and avoid the calling of elections for June 26, he began with no prospect of rapprochement between different ideologies and opening doors to the polls.

Almost at the same time the conservative Popular Party, which supports the Government of Mariano Rajoy, admitted the impossibility of forming a grand coalition between the Conservatives and the Socialist Party, with the participation of Citizens, the extreme left represented in Podemos made public Monday the result of the binding request to their bases. A query that yielded a clear result, although expected: 88.23% of the militants of Podemos rejects support a Government between the Socialist Party and Citizens, and more than 92% defends that only a leftist Government rests between the Socialists and Podemos.

The consultation gives the secretary general of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, the necessary excuse for not negotiating with the Socialist Party, whose leaders claimed Monday that will keep trying to form a progressive Government until the last minute. But the arithmetic is stubborn and numbers do not allow, as the positions of the Spanish political parties are, the formation of a Government, even a minority.

This situation benefits the conservative Popular Party, according to polls, which give as winner of the elections, if they are coming to celebrate on June 26. And it seems to be held. On Thursday, the president of the Lower House, Patxi Lopez, delivered to King Philip VI spokespeople relationship with the monarch will meet to explore the possibility of proposing a candidate for Prime Minister who has sufficient parliamentary support. And that candidate does not exist, the acting president of the Spanish Government, Mariano Rajoy, has thrown in the towel and will not seek any agreement with the Socialists. Normal is that the King dissolve Parliament and call early elections for June 26.
