Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's chances of getting reelected after a July election have received a potentially important boost following an agreement between more than a dozen small leftist parties to run on a joint ticket, a deal that is expected to provide key support for Sanchez's Socialists in any post-election negotiations to form government.
The deal signed late Friday ended days of intense negotiations and was sealed at the last moment with an agreement between Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz's newly formed alliance, Sumar, and the Socialists' small but influential far-left coalition partner, United We Can, or Podemos.Sumar, which means to add or unite in Spanish, was to be officially registered later Friday as a political group to compete in the election.
The fragmentation of parties to the left of the Socialists was blamed for many of the regional and local election losses. Most polls tip the PP to win in July but predict it will need the support of the extreme right party Vox.
