Spain faces weeks of coalition horse-trading after Socialist win

Spain faces weeks of coalition talks after Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialists scored big but failed to gain a majority in a snap election that split the right-wing bloc and let ultra nationalists into parliament. With the country set to return to the polls on May 26 for regional, local and European Parliament elections, and Spain's three rightist parties unable to form a coalition even if they wanted to, Sanchez will go slowly, and a government is unlikely before June. "We must wait and see what will happen in the municipal elections... in many regions and of course in the European Parliament," Socialist party president Cristina Narbona told Spanish radio.
