Ciudadanos has said it will abstain in the vote to allow the PP to govern in a minority but this would not be enough. Together they would be the only vaguely realistic two-party combination that could form an outright majority.

The CEO and publisher of the Las Vegas Sun says he welcomes billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his family to the journalism neighborhood after they confirmed their purchase of Nevada’s largest newspaper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Scott Lucas of the Las Vegas Sun newspaper tweeted that the Review-Journal “reported this against the attempts of their own owners”.
Asked by CNNMoney at the Republican debates on Tuesday if he was in fact the owner, he said he had no “personal involvement” with the paper. Adelson is also the owner of the pro-Netanyahu Hebrew-language daily newspaper Israel Hayom, which is distributed widely for free in Israel.
Pergament has not responded to requests for comment. “The Review-Journal owners want to remain secret, a choice that is faithless to the public trust and the talented journalists that work every day to provide an accurate, impartial news report for the community they serve”.

He said Gatehouse didn’t disclose the buyer due to a confidentiality agreement and rejected the notion that the paper’s integrity had been challenged.
The Adelsons say they held back because they didn’t want an announcement to distract from Tuesday’s Republican presidential debate held at the Venetian, the casino-hotel on the Las Vegas Strip that is part of Adelson’s empire. “No one has gone through the lengths to keep secrets like this”, Seaman said.
And Matt Pearce of the Los Angeles Times said “kudos” to the staff for “refusing to just go along”.
The statement was printed in Thursday’s edition of the Review-Journal, alongside a thoroughly reported story that used anonymous sources to identify Adelson’s son-in-law Patrick Dumont as the broker of the deal.
Ron Reese, a spokesman for Las Vegas Sands Corp., said in an email Wednesday that he had no information on the matter and wouldn’t comment on reports of Adelson buying the paper. The paper’s conservative bent, they said, made it a logical purchase by a rich Vegas conservative. It declined to reveal the identity of the new buyer.

Adelson, however, seemed to be enjoying the guessing game and still refused to come clean that he’s one of the new owners of the newspaper.
