On July 25, Pedro Sanchez was officially appointed as the caretaker Prime Minister of an interim government in Spain. The interim government will remain in power until the political uncertainty resulting from Sunday’s inconclusive elections is resolved.
In the elections, Alberto Nunez Feijoo’s right-wing Popular Party (PP) emerged as the winner but failed to secure a governing majority. This outcome provided a lifeline to Pedro Sanchez’s Socialists, as they now have more flexibility to form alliances with smaller parties to create a potential governing coalition.
The inconclusive vote has led to a political deadlock in Spain, and the situation may require additional efforts to form a stable government. If the deadlock is not resolved in the coming months, Spain may face the prospect of holding a repeat election to break the impasse and establish a clear path forward.
