CEREMONIAL OPENING OF PARLIAMENT

Spain’s Socialist Party PSOE yesterday afternoon reached a preliminary coalition deal with the Unidas Podemos to form a government. This was reached within 48 hours of Sunday's general election, as PSOE leader Pedro Sanchez had said earlier.
Sanchez will be President and Podmos' leader Pablo Iglesias will be vice-President.
Other smaller parties are being brought in, as the coalition needs to have a majority in the Spanish parliament.
The PSOE could have struck a coalition with Podemos instead of calling a general election, but Sanchez wanted to have an all-PSOE government. Read more
