Spain's far-right Vox open to coalition government with PP conservatives

[admin]

Spain's far-right Vox party is open to forming national and regional governing coalitions with the mainstream conservative People's Party (PP), Vox leader Santiago Abascal said on Monday after right-wing parties won a regional election. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called a snap national election for July earlier on Monday, in response to the heavy defeat that his Socialist Party (PSOE) and their far-left junior ally Podemos suffered in Sunday's ballot. Abascal said his party would be open to "creating an alternative" to Sanchez alongside the PP.
