The leader of Spain's conservatives will have his opportunity to form a new government this week in what has been preordained as a lost cause given his lack...
MADRID — The leader of Spain’s conservatives tried to convince lawmakers on Tuesday to let him form the country’s new government, a green light he wasn’t expected to get during two rounds of voting in the Spanish parliament later this week.
If he misses that mark, the bar would be lowered for the second round, in which he would need only more “yes” than “no” votes. Abstentions could sway the result in that situation. The second vote is set for Friday. In exchange for their support, separatist parties from northeastern Spain’s Catalonia region are demanding an amnesty for possibly thousands of people involved in a failed 2017 secession bid and protests against the Spanish government’s resulting crackdown. Sánchez also needs to woo rival parties from the Basque region.
Feijóo proposed that, if made prime minister, he would push for a new law to punish “constitutional disloyalty” that would apparently replace a sedition law that was scrapped last year to help Catalan separatists in legal trouble.
