Nothing set in Spain’s political scenario as coalition talks gets nowhere, anywhere

As Spain’s Socialists seek a partner to form a national government two months after a parliamentary election, the splintering of Spanish politics is being felt right down to regional and municipal level.

The far-right Vox party on Monday suspended coalition talks with the conservatives over the Madrid region after a row over the Madrid municipality.

And the centre-right Ciudadanos, another relative newcomer, broke with its unsuccessful candidate for Barcelona mayor, who had criticised its policy of making alliances with Vox.

Meanwhile, senior Socialist Jose Luis Abalos said outgoing prime minister Pedro Sanchez would ask parliament “soon” to give him a new term, but without saying when, or with whose support.
