"I would like to call on all Political Parties , because they need to act with generosity and responsibility, to unblock the political situation in Spain," he added.

"we would like to, Once Again , the hand of the Socialist Party , Pedro Sánchez," he said, adding that he was ready for talks with The Party as soon as Monday.

Podemos is the Socialist Party 's natural political allies. However, a coalition between two of the 176 seats would still be required for a majority.

Although Pedro Sánchez socialists have emerged as winners, after only slight losses in this election suffered, the overall result is not positive for the incumbent Prime Minister .

With Podemos lost some ground and País Más backup, only a handful of seats, there is no clear left-wing majority. The socialists' arch-rival on The Right , the PP, has recovered, many of the seats he lost in the April vote.

If the Land is the long-standing political deadlock is broken, Mr. Sanchez might have to the support of the PP, or else a third election in the space of a year, the lure could be.

Meanwhile, the enormous increase of Vox is means it will now find it easier to put The Agenda on The Right side. This is likely to hamper to try, all attempts by Mr Sánchez, a conciliatory solution to the Catalan crisis.
