The Spanish prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, warned of a possible coalition with the Socialists to form a government-independence parties and said that would not be the most convenient option for Spain.
Rajoy, who came to Congress today for accreditation as a deputy, again repeated his proposal for a grand bargain of his party, People's Party (center-right), with the Socialists (PSOE) and Citizens (liberal center).
The three form, he said, a "strong group of 250 deputies" in a parliament of 350 seats, which could carry out the reforms and "transmit and out of Spain a message of peace, stability, security and certainty."
The PP, with 122 MPs, won the general elections on December 20, but not enough to form a government majority, so you need to compromise with other parties, but so far none have guaranteed their support.
Should Rajoy can not form a government, the Socialist leader, Pedro Sanchez, insisted yesterday that the PSOE "assume its responsibility" as the second political force (90 seats) and try to head an executive, for which it will seek the support of progressive parties.
Sanchez yesterday traveled to Lisbon to meet the political experience of Portugal, where the socialists govern the government with the support of two forces left after falling as the second party in the elections.
Speaking to reporters, Mariano Rajoy said he sees the socialist leader "capable" to seek a coalition of "eight or nine games," some with independence approaches, and warned that this would not be the most convenient option for Spain.
Rajoy said not to do so far no concrete offer Sanchez "because they wanted to hear," but in any case the move in the investiture debate.
The Spanish chief executive reiterated that there are only three options: he raises the pact, a coalition of "far left" to include separatists and supporters of self-determination or re-hold a general election.
The possibility of negotiating with other parties has been questioned by the PSOE leadership, as some regional leaders did not take kindly to agree with Podemos, new leftist group that advocates a referendum on independence in Catalonia, although this training has insisted that is against Catalan independence.
