Socialist party official Cesar Luena said Rajoy’s Popular Party, which won the most votes, should have the first crack at forming a government but ruled out supporting Rajoy, eliminating the already slim possibility of an unprecedented coalition of the two parties which had dominated Spanish politics for decades. The power was between the socialists and the popular party and right now the coalition that we face until now was that some minority parties were in the game and formed this coalition with the mainstream political parties. The leader of a party that was born from the “indignados” movement and that entered parliament on Sunday with 69 seats out of 350 – thereby becoming the third largest party in the country after the PP and the PSOE – said that Podemos would oppose any government under incumbent prime minister Mariano Rajoy.

The Popular Party would also need support from parties that won 17 seats in the north-eastern Catalonia region and are seeking independence from Spain or want more regional financial power and feel alienated by Mr Rajoy’s firm rejection of their causes. The lawmaking body has two months to elect a prime minister or call fresh elections. The Socialists, Podemos and another anti-austerity platform, Unidad Popular, fell 15 seats short, though they might yet attract extra support from nationalist groups.
The first scenario could be an abstention of Ciudadanos so he can have some majority points in the parliament and form the new government.
