Spanish Parliament Starts Debate To Form New Government

MADRID, SPAIN - MARCH 01: Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) leader Pedro Sanchez (R) and his party's spokesman Oscar Lopez (L) walk along a corridor after his speech during a debate to form a new government at the Spanish Parliament on March 1, 2016 in Madrid, Spain. The Spanish Socialist Party leader appeals for support ahead of the investiture debate to get enough votes from the other 349 deputies that would allow him to become Prime Minister. The Spanish political system requires Sanchez to achieve an overall majority in the vote, which follows the debate. If he fails to realise that in the first vote, a simple majority would be enough to make him Prime Minister in a second vote to be held 48 hours later. (Photo by Pablo Blazquez Dominguez/Getty Images)
