Political Deadlock in Spain as Sánchez Rejects Feijóo's Offer for Two-Year Premiership

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's center-right Popular Party, has asked caretaker Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for support in his bid to become prime minister for a two-year term. Feijóo proposed that the two parties work together to pass major bipartisan legislation during this time, after which new elections would be called. However, Sánchez rejected the proposal, calling it a delusion and criticizing Feijóo for wasting time. The majority of Spanish MPs are expected to reject Feijóo's bid, and Sánchez is seeking support from the Catalan separatist group Junts to stay in power.
