                Spanish King to Try to Break Political Deadlock

   by VOA News

   Spain's king is meeting Tuesday with political party leaders in a
   last-resort attempt to break a political deadlock and avoid fresh
   elections in June.

   King Felipe is meeting with leaders of the top four political parties,
   including Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of the Popular Party and Pedro
   Sanchez of the Socialist Party, the two top vote-getters in December's
   election. The leaders will discuss, in turn, whether they have a
   candidate with enough cross-party support to form a new government.

   After the meetings, King Felipe is to report the results to the speaker
   of parliament. If no candidate can be named by May 2, elections will be
   held on June 26.
