Spain

The leader of the conservative Partido Popular (PP), Alberto Núnez Feijóo, did not get enough support in the Spanish parliament in a vote on Wednesday to form a government. 172 members of parliament voted in favor, while 178 voted against Feijóo and PP. He needed at least 176 votes to stand a chance of becoming Spain’s next prime minister. On Friday, he will get another chance in a new vote. But it is expected in advance that it too will go against him. /ritzau/Reuters.
