very difficult for prime minister pedro sanchez to form a government because he needs one hundred seventy six or at least you need two hundred seventy six m.p.'s to actually be able to govern he will need support as i said before from us for the most of the anti austerity a left wing party and also potentially even a catalan nationalist party and that's where he's going to run into difficulties because he has been very clear in saying that he is a pro constitution party he leads a pro constitution party i.e. that he is not open to dialogue with regards to holding say a referendum in catalonia which is something which the catalan nationalist party is scared of he looked like they've talked the polls in catalonia would be wanting from a coalition partner. another big story is the gains of the far right nationalist vox party can you tell us more about that. vox party seems to have struck a chord particularly with those people who felt that at the traditional parties of the socialists on the people's party in particular didn't know how to handle the situation in catalonia day they're

leader, the pro—european prime minister, pedro sanchez, saw off a conservative opposition, which included a rising movement from the far right. translation: we made it happen. the socialist party has won the election and, in doing so, the future has won and the past has lost. pedro sanchez argued during the campaign that he was the only spanish leader capable of stopping the advance of the hard right. and the numbers show that he has done so. he must now form a lasting coalition of his own. we have seen different things in the world. we've seen trump in the states. we've seen different things. we've seen "brexit" — i'm sorry! and sometimes you have to get together and say "this is what we want". and you don't want those things, you don't want trump or brexit? oh, my god, no! we don't want franco to come back, all those old ideas, so i think it's a good thing to be here tonight and to support our president. the far right party, vox, the first significant movement of its kind since the end of general franco's fascist regime four decades ago, ended up on the losing side. but they

where pedro sanchez claimed an early victory. in that speech he declared victory. as you say, it is far from over, we had the latest numbers here. 123 seats went to the socialists. the magic number is 176 to form a majority for a coalition. they have 123. where they will look to team up with is going to take them up to 165. they are shy of a 2—party coalition, about 11 seats shy. as you say, it is far from over. they will have to engage in conversations and we don't know exactly how long it may take before a government may be declared. where will they be looking for expert! —— extra support. there was a hope that they may have been able to make it with just the two parties and they wouldn't need to buddy up with these separatist parties. but what pedro sanchez will be looking to do is perhaps go to the basque representatives. that means he won't have to pander so much to the cata la n have to pander so much to the catalan separatists. part of his time in power has been marred by some people in spain who think he is too close to the catalan separatists. the first port of call will

very much. good to talk to you. spain's socialist prime minister, pedro sanchez, is hoping to form a new government, after his party emerged as the biggest winner in the general election. but he didn't get a majority, and will need the support of other parties, including the left—wing podemos, to form a coalition. the right wing vox party won seats for the first time, and it's the first time the far right will have representation in parliament since the era of military rule under general franco. from madrid, tim willcox has the latest. it is a night of celebrations for the socialists. pedro sanchez will be the prime minister of the next coalition socialist government. but that could take a few days or weeks to form. you mentioned podemos, the hard left party. together with the socialists, they won't have enough for the majority, 176. so who will he turn to? well, probably the basques. he might have to go to the catalans as well. the catalan crisis has been at the core of this divided country and the elections yesterday, because of their separatist lodge or their separatist claim, t

: let's recap results of the spanish election with pedro sanchez set to return as prime minister with his left-leaning allies. he is close to a majority but may still rely on catalan separatists to govern. he enters parliament with 24 seats in his worst election ever. from 130 seats down seven in the previous parliament. joining us is antonio, managing director and senior analyst. what does this all mean? can he mr. sanchez govern with a stronger hand than last time around? question is whether he can get basically the extension of some secessionists. in thatne deputy confidence boat -- vote. it is straightforward. he gets appointed, can he pass policy in parliament? francine: what does that mean for policy? what can we expect from mr. chances -- sanchez? antonio: this morning they said they were open to discussing policy issues. but on the right, it is one of competition. so all of the smaller parties mean more players and more difficult to pass big policy changes. francine: what does it mean for , for the economy? shareholders will be comforted that there is not something more populo

europe, spain's general election, primus or pedro sanchez, is celebrating a victory for the party. the governing socialists won the countries national election, but fell short of a elementary majority. they had just 39% of the vote. sanchez must attempt to form a coalition government, a week -- a process that could take weeks or months. sunday's vote saw the far right into parliament for the first time since the end of military rule in 1975. the box party took 10% of t the vote. we are joined now by journalist jaime velasququez imagery. so no majority herere, but a victory nonetheless for the socialists. how did they pull out o off -- t off? is it really a victory a at the enend of the day? reporter: defininitely. itit h has been a c campaign ban identity, rather than policies. it was more about values a and w wewe as spaniards see ourselvevs a society andnd a nation. fofor the fifirst time, the catn country y was not that significt and we have come back to left and right to get to those blocks -- blocs. sanchez read that scenario very well. it was the values of vox that represent

poverty or social exclusion. here's what the socialist party leader pedro sanchez had to say. translation: the socialist party has won the elections. we made it happen. the socialist party has won the general election, and without the general election, and without the future has one in the past has lost —— socialist party. the future has one in the past has lost -- socialist party. well, we have a familiar face with us. jeremy thomson—cook, chief economist at worldfirst joins me now. it's nice to see you. good morning. give us your take on what is ahead. in terms of what they have to do, the economy is going to be up there, isn't it? he knows what he should have to do, spain has typically been a 2—party system, a lot of countries are, but spain hasn't had a coalition government for a0 years. putting together a coalition that can move together and work together for the betterment of the spanish economy may prove difficult and probably won't happen until after the european elections take place in may. eight so this is new territory after what many would argue, four yea

you said, the socialist party of pedro sanchez gaining 123 seats. that is not enough, rosemary, for a majority. they need 170 seats -- 176 in a 350-seat parliament. they'll be looking at the likes of the left wing. also perhaps a smaller regional party. even the catalans. now, the catalan party may be complicated because pedro sanchez called that general election because the catalans would not back pedro sanchez's budget when it came in spring. so we're in this situation because of the catalans. so if in fact pedro sanchez can do without the catalans, in terms of backing up supporting, propping up his party, even better. because what the catalan wants from pedro sanchez is, in fact, a referendum on the question of independe independence for catalonia. the question then remains, rosemary, whether trying to push any legislation will be slightly harder than what he hoped. the other alternative is perhaps going more to the right, to go to the center part perhaps with the likes of the citizens party. that's -- they've got a significant amount of votes, but yesterday listening to the crow

socialist prime minister, pedro sanchez, in february after catalan separatists joined rightwing parties in rejecting his government's budget. for the first time since the end of the franco era, in 1975, a far—right party — vox — is among the main contenders. let's cross live to madrid, and join tim willcox. you have put yourfinger on it. all the discussion here at the moment on a beautiful sunny day is how well this hard right party vox might do in this general election. they haven't been formed for very long. they emerged out of the right—wing party that previously existed, which itself has tacked further to the right to try to appeal who have been supporting vox, which has a seat in power in andalusia, taking it from the socialists for the first time in 40 the socialists for the first time in a0 yea rs. the socialists for the first time in a0 years. women's rights, separatism, unemployment, tax, all theseissues separatism, unemployment, tax, all these issues in what are the most divided election here for many generations. and probably the most important elections since the dea

—style parties. but what pedro sanchez will be probably trying to look to do is perhaps go to the basque representatives. that way he won't have to pander so much to the catalan separatists. he has been in power ten months and part of that has been marred for some people in spain who think he is too close to the catalan separatists. the first port of call will be the basque but after that yes, he may continue to walk this fine line where he tries to create an allegiance with the catalan separatists while not isolating himself from the rest of the spanish voters. it'll be interesting to see how he figured this out as this was a highly—polarised campaign and issues of national identity very much at the forefront. yes, so, we've heard a lot during this campaign about the hard right party vox. it's the first time we have had a far right party in power since the 1970s. they got about 25 seats which was lower than expectations but yes, for the left here tonight, they are seeing it as a real win for their credo. and you can keep up to date with the post election coalition talks on the bbc web

day for the socialists. pedro sanchez, it seems, will have the largest number of seats here in the congress of deputies, but not enough for an outright majority, which means he will have to form a coalition government. it has also been a good night for vox, which has come from nowhere, the hard right party. let's show you what the unofficial projections are on the public broadcaster here. it seems the governing party polled 28%, well ahead of its rivals. the opposition popular party, once one ofjust two parties who exchanged power here in spain, the popular party has had one of its worst ever results, just under 18% of the vote for them. the left—wing parties predicted to get some 16%, while the centre—right citizens party is just under 14.5. but vox, the first hard right party to win any political representation since the death of franco in 1975. there will need to be lots of talk 110w there will need to be lots of talk now about coalition building, but it seems that the impetus is with pedro sanchez for the socialists. let's discuss this with a couple of experts here in madri

that in a moment. right now — this man — prime minister pedro sanchez — needs to form a coalition government using the help of either the left—wing podemos party and some other smaller parties or maybe the centre—right citizen's party. here's the prime minister. translation: we made it happen. the future has won under the past has lost. let us show you the breakdown. red is the socialist worker's party — they've won the most seats. blue is the popular party, which governed spain until it lost a no—confidence vote last year and was dumped from power. it flopped in this election. and the green shows the seats won by the far—right party, vox. this is its leader, santiago abascal. he's tweeted "2.6 million spaniards have mobilized to have their own voice. they'll never be gagged again.... welcome to the resistance". this is the first time since military rule ended in the 19705, that a far—right party will enter spanish parliament. vox has a tough stance on islam, it's against multiculturalism, and what it calls "radical feminism". this is one of it's slogans... ‘make spa

in spain with bated breath to see who exactly pedro sanchez or how he decides to form his new government let's talk about the far right the vox. st paul and how much influence. well the influence is i mean that they have ten percent of the vote so they've come here with you know a significant percentage considering that have the last time around and even have an m.p. in twenty sixteen at they've said that their plan is essentially to make a noise and this is just the beginning of vox their idea is basically to make people and realise what they're about what their policies are about and that way they can grow as a party so that next time around they'll they'll grow and they seem to be pretty certain that. they've used the word which i suppose has has surprised and shocked some people in spain which is that i ceased n.p.i. which means resistance now what that means exactly is a little bit unsure but basically their plan is to make changes in spain and they want spain to go in a slightly different direction to the one that we're seeing it going in now with. a list of a good conse
