Spain's King Felipe VI meets with the country's party leaders in a bid to break an impasse over the formation of a new government following inconclusive elections last month. Acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has headed a caretaker government with reduced powers since a July 23 general election produced a hung parliament, in which a ruling majority cannot easily be formed. While his Socialist party finished second behind the conservative Popular Party (PP), it is better positioned as it has more potential partners. IMAGES
Spanish Prime minister and socialist candidate, Pedro Sánchez, votes at a polling station in Madrid's city centre, alongside his wife, in a snap general election. Voters across Spain head to the polls on Sunday to decide whether to hand Sanchez a fresh four-year mandate or bring the right back into power with its far-right coalition ally. Polls suggest a shift to the right and victory for Alberto Nunez Feijoo's conservative Popular Party. IMAGES
Spain's socialist PM Pedro Sanchez casts his vote in snap elections marked by a resurgence of the far-right after more than four decades on the outer margins of politics. Opinion polls give outgoing Sanchez a win but without the necessary majority to govern alone, meaning he will have to seek alliances in a political environment that has soured since Catalonia's failed secession bid.
