Pedro Sánchez of socialist party to become new PM
Pedro Sanchez has arrived in Spain's parliament, set to become the country's new prime minister after his socialist party yesterday secured enough votes to topple Mariano Rajoy in a confidence vote over a corruption case.


Mr Rajoy admitted defeat ahead of a no-confidence vote today saying it had been "an honour" to serve the country.

"The no-confidence motion is likely to go through, which means Mr Pedro Sanchez will be the new prime minister," he told parliament.

  1. La moción de censura presentada por el Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) que proponía como candidato a presidente del Gobierno a Pedro Sánchez ha prosperado con el apoyo de la mayoría de la Cámara. A favor han votado los diputados del PSOE (84), Unidos Podemos (67), Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (9), Partido Demócrata europeo de Catalunya (8), Partido Nacionalista Vasco (5), Compromís (4), Euskal Herria Bildu (2) y Nueva Canaria (1): un total de 180 escaños de los 350 que componen la Cámara legislativa española. Pedro Sánchez se convierte así en el primer presidente que llega al cargo en España a través de una moción de censura.
