The political crisis is still ongoing - Sanchez failed to be voted back in office in the first round. If he fails again on Thursday there could be new elections.

We'll see what kind of summer holidays Felipe will have.

Spain's Sanchez says failed to strike deal that would confirm him as prime minister - he can try again now until September 23, otherwise there will be new elections, again, on November 10.

The President of Congress has informed the King that Sanchez has not been elected. Probably now the King will let a few weeks pass, and before the two month limit is reached, he will again organize a round of consulting to see if there are possibilities of government.

The King is not going to initiate a new round of consultations with the representatives of the political parties, to which he will give more time so that “they can carry out the actions they deem appropriate”, as announced by the King's House in a release.

The King's office with Pedro Sánchez in Marivent will take place on August 7.

In fact, on Thursday 8, the chief executive will meet with the CEOE presidents, Antonio Garamendi, and Cepyme, Gerardo Cuerva, as well as with the general secretaries of CC.OO., Unai Sordo, and UGT, Pepe Álvarez.

On Monday, August 5, Felipe VI will receive the Balearic authorities in audience at the Royal Palace of La Almudaina.

The time to form a government is ending, they will probably decide that there will be a new round of consultations ... and as the agreement is unlikely, there are high chances that new elections will be called for November.

King Felipe will consult with representatives appointed by political groups with parliamentary representation.

For I don't know what will happen. Political parties do not understand each other.
In my opinion, King Philip VI made the best decision.
The PSOE says it is the fault of the other parties, as they have not reached any understanding to form government.
