New stalemate in Spain after the elections
The conservative Popular Party won the elections in Spain yesterday, taking a total of 137 seats, according to official figures, after counting 100% of the votes, but lacks an absolute majority of seats in parliament.
The Socialist Party elects 85 MPs and becomes second force.
The coalition Unidos Podemos takes 71 seats, followed in fourth liberals Ciudadanos with 32 seats.
While the Popular Party (PP) of outgoing Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy raised its seats to 137 compared with 123 in December, it is far from an absolute majority of 176 seats in the parliament of 350 seats.

The turnout stood at 69.84%.
