"Spain's King Invites Pedro Sánchez to Form Government Amidst Complex Talks"

Spanish King Felipe VI has tasked caretaker Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez with forming a government after the inconclusive national election in July. Sánchez, who does not have enough seats to govern on his own, will need the support of far-left and separatist parties. His biggest challenge will be securing the backing of Catalan separatist groups, who are demanding a blanket amnesty and a new independence referendum. If Sánchez fails to obtain majority support by November 27, new elections will be held in Spain.
