The Legend of Zorro

Pedro Sánchez, Secretary-General of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE), will almost certainly continue as Spain’s Prime Minister after the PSOE won the most seats — but not a majority — in Sunday’s general election. That means that Sánchez will have to put together a governing coalition with the support of other parties. Photo: Pablo Blázquez Domínguez/Getty Images.

The Importance of Not Being Arcovazzi

Madrid, Spain: Spain’s new Prime Minister, Secretary-General of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) Pedro Sánchez (left), shakes hands with his predecessor, Mariano Rajoy, who was ousted in a no-confidence vote. The Socialist leader promised to open talks with the Catalan government in the independence dispute which saw Madrid adopt a harsh, repressive line until issuing an European Arrest Warrant for separatist leader Carles Puigdemont. Furthermore, Sánchez urged constitutional reform to set up a federalist system that would keep Catalonia in Spain. Photo: Reuters.
