TL;DR Summary

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez survived a no-confidence vote brought by the far-right populist party Vox, with 201 lawmakers voting against the motion, 53 in favor and 91 abstaining. Sanchez accused the conservative Partido Popular (PP) of abstaining to appease Vox. The parliamentary debate was marked by acrimony, with legislators attacking each other over personal and policy issues. Vox leader Santiago Abascal said he was "satisfied" with the result, even though the motion did not go through.
