Spain’s govt lose key vote over budget plan as Sanchez’s allies abstain Spanish govt loses key vote over budget plan as Sanchez’s allies abstain
(35 minutes later)
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has lost a key vote over his budget plans as political allies who brought him to power last month abstained, Reuters reported. Sanchez controls only 84 seats in the 350-seat parliament. Only 88 members of parliament voted on Friday in favor of the government’s proposal to soften the deficit-cutting path, while 173 voted against and 86 abstained. The PM cannot pass the budget without those parties which backed a no-confidence motion against his conservative predecessor in June.
