The leaders of the Spanish Socialist Party and the leftist Podemos said today that they had reached a preliminary agreement on a coalition government.
However, they still won't have enough MPs for Socialist leader Pedro Sánchez to become prime minister without the support of other parties.
The Socialists won 120 mandates in Sunday's elections, while Podemos won 35 parliamentary seats.
An absolute majority in the parliament requires 176 deputies.
Sanchez and Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias stated in a joint address that based on the agreement reached, Sanchez would be prime minister and Iglesias vice prime minister.
The two will also talk to other parties to see if they would provide the necessary support.
