In Spain, voters are expected to head to the polls again in June after last-ditch talks failed to form a left-wing coalition government. Spain has been in a political deadlock after December elections, which resulted in a Parliament deeply divided between the ruling People’s Party, the Socialist party and Podemos, which grew out of the indignados protest movement. Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias said the Socialists rejected a last attempt to form a coalition government.

Pablo Iglesias: “I think the deal was a good effort, an effort we would have liked to have seen as a reality, the reality of a left-wing coalition government. But unfortunately, when I finished my meeting with King Felipe, I looked at my phone and saw the 'no' from the Socialist party.”
