Today, Wednesday, Alberto Núñez Feijóo faces the first vote in Congress. It is foreseeable that the leader of the conservative Partido Popular (PP) will not achieve the necessary majority to become Spain’s new Prime Minister: Feijóo has only 172 votes on his side, with an absolute majority of 176. The second vote, in which more yes votes than no votes are sufficient, will then take place on Friday. Feijóo is likely to clear this hurdle.
