Spain’s Pedro Sanchez has been reelected as prime minister by the nation’s parliament after he leveraged a controversial amnesty deal to get critical support from Catalan separatists to stay in power. Sanchez, Spain’s Socialist leader since 2018, was backed by 179 lawmakers in the 350-seat lower house of parliament to form a new minority leftist coalition government. Only right-wing opposition deputies voted against him in Thursday’s election.
