Default Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez calls snap election after budget vote defeat

The socialist leader can not pass his budget
So in April yet another Snap Election.


[Spain will go the polls on 28 April after
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called
a snap national election following defeat
in a key budget vote.

"Between doing nothing and continuing
without the budget and calling on
Spaniards to have their say,
I choose the second,"
he said in a televised statement
following a cabinet meeting.
"Spain needs to keep advancing,
progressing with tolerance, respect,
moderation and common sense."
Mr Sanchez's minority socialist
government has been in office
for just over eight months,
thanks to Catalan support.
However, separatist MPs failed to back
his budget after the government refused
to negotiate over the
region's right to self-determination.]
