Felipe VI will lead the spherical of consultations with the events for the formation of a authorities as soon as the overall elections have been held, marked by uncertainty after the meager victory of the PP and the choices of the PSOE to proceed in energy.

The interviews with the representatives of the events will happen after the Congress and the Senate are constituted on August 17, though they don’t have a set date.

Round on the finish of August or starting of September

The ordinary factor has been for the monarch to summon the events about two weeks after the brand new Congress begins with the election of its president and the inauguration of the deputies, which might place the spherical on the finish of August or starting of September.

The chief of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, winner of the elections with 136 seats, introduced after understanding the end result on the polls that he’s going to attempt to kind a authorities though he doesn’t attain an absolute majority (176) with the 33 Vox deputies.

The appearing president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, just isn’t assured an absolute majority both with the 122 seats of the PSOE, so, along with the votes of Sumar, ERC, Bildu and PNV, his re-election would depend upon the positioning of the seven seats of the Catalan separatists of Junts.

Two votes and a second spherical of consultations if there is no such thing as a inaugurated candidate

In January 2016, an unprecedented scenario arose when the then Prime Minister and chief of the PP, Mariano Rajoy, who had received 123 seats, declined Felipe VI’s proposal to attempt to kind a authorities, forcing one other spherical of interviews.

The title proposed by the pinnacle of state shall be submitted to the investiture session, which is able to prosper if it achieves an absolute majority. If it doesn’t attain it, there shall be a brand new vote 48 hours later, through which solely a easy majority shall be required.

If the candidate fails, the king would convene a brand new spherical of consultations and a interval of two months can be opened for an additional candidate to try the investiture, which if he failed, would lead the nation to new normal elections. It would be the tenth spherical of consultations of Felipe VI within the 9 years of his reign, when his father, Juan Carlos I, starred in ten in the course of the 38 years through which he was on the throne
