bit more supportive of a federal spain and that is the proposition of of better sunshine and socialist party they want federal spain on their open stadia so they famously speaking the councillors should be more open to negotiation with the socialist. vermont having said you know the situation has been festering for so long that it seems that anything other than independence is a no go for certain political forces in that saloon or certainly the socialist party doesn't want to do that either so we'll have to wait and see if there's a little bit more political goodwill between these two new negotiating forces but i don't see a massive change now there won't be much goodwill from alberta rivera head of the citizens' party he wants elections right now he's going to be in opposition to sanchez. i mean how long would you give sanchez how long does he have before elections have to be called it all very much the bens i would say more than sooner than most it really depends on where they're most and how much patience yours has with with the socialist party if they're not seem to be moving forward qui

no confidence the motion was only brought to a matter of days ago last week by the head of the socialist party had both sanchez who is now prime minister the p.p.p. party the center right people's party of mariano rajoy has struggled to shake off a whole series of corruption allegations levied at dozens of high ranking figures within his party twenty nine figures have been convicted on a variety of different charges including the response center suit to former treasurer of the party sentenced on monday to thirty three years in prison and fined fifty one million dollars and the p.p. party have also been ordered to pay back two hundred eighty five thousand dollars for benefiting from some of these this ill gotten gain so what happens next well spain is entering uncharted territory sanchez face a whole new set of challenges ahead of them including a very strong independence movement in catalonia uncertainty over the economy here in spain and undoubtedly some of the opposition parties including see over the last the center right party are going to push him to recall elections later on in the year

sanchez resigned this socialist party leader in 2016. he refused to support the support of the coalition. made opposing it his number one priority. he is the third spanish primecian to unseat the minister without holding a seat in parliament. italy is emerging from its political uncertainty. accepted a list of ministers put forward by the prime minister. had a previouste appraisal this week. the coalition means the country avoids another election. the anti-austerity government has sent alarm bells. class suburb,ing unemployment and crime loom large. this is a stronghold for the traditional left. it voted massively for the five-star movement. he got involved because of a dislike of mainstream politics. >> i am here to fight all of five stars battles. the most important thing is the sovereignty of the people. believes in an upstart movement that finds itself at the forefront of italian politics. >> i was attracted to them because they are young and of the people. maybe they will be able to get rid of the old guys. >> they are total clowns.

but he has remained secretary general of the socialist party and a very strong figurehead within the socialist movement this all comes off the back of a host of corruption charges levied at high profile figures within people's party dating back to campaigning in the late one nine hundred ninety s. and early two thousand and twenty nine people were convicted as a result of an investigation into those allegations among them a man called louis ross and asked the former treasurer of the people's party a close ally of mariano rajoy who on monday was sentenced to thirty three years in jail and fined fifty one million dollars and of course mariano rajoy zone party face allegations too were profiting from some of this for they've been ordered to pay back two hundred eighty five thousand dollars and that really got the ball rolling when it came to challenging. the people's party's right to be in power and of course the socialist party it had to draw in support from across the political spectrum to get this over the line and what we've seen from these results overwhelmingly is that one hundred

step aside the socialist party leader which led to a nine month political deadlock fast forward twenty seven such as they made a shock reappearance after winning back his position but now despite receiving large support from smaller opposition parties he is still likely to face some major challenges the liberal party the citizens is will they've been calling for another election and seem to be the only major party backing the i stayed prime minister while sanchez will also of course have to deal with the elephant in the room the issue of independence and the separatist push in the region since last year's referendum we've been getting lots of reaction on this including from a one hundred he's a spanish history lecture and he believes that calculations could take advantage. the jews have eighty five m. peers there's a very very. small number of pacific parliaments and that does a limitation in itself so it is going to be a very very limited government in that respect there's no doubt in catalonia is going to be the one of the hot potato spanish politics in the coming years and for this

and that was when marianna finally realized that the game was up and this is his replacement socialist party leader pedro sun shares will be sworn in as prime minister during the weekend he has been a thorn in the former prime minister side for some time now most two years ago when parliament voted on approving marianna a new cabinet sanchez refused to give his backing although that move cost him the leadership of the socialist party which led to a nine month political deadlock but. six months after that sunshine made a shock reappearance winning back his position and despite receiving large support from smaller opposition parties he's still likely to face major challenges the liberal party citizen's is one they've been calling for another election and seem to be the only major party backing the prime minister while sanchez will also of course have to deal with that issue of catalan independence and the separatists in the region since last year's referendum we've been getting lots of reaction to this one through key ruga is one of those who've spoken to a spanish history lecturer he believes
