Spain Leader Asks for Bigger Socialist Win to Break Deadlock

Associated Press

   Spain's acting prime minister asked voters Wednesday for an even bigger
   victory for his Socialist party after his failure to form a government
   triggered a new election in November.

   Pedro Sánchez told opposition parties in parliament that "when we will
   be forced back to the polls, I hope that the Spanish people give the
   Socialist Party an even bigger majority so that you ... cannot block
   the formation of a government that Spain needs."

   He spoke a day after King Felipe VI announced that there was no viable
   candidate who could win parliament's endorsement before a Sept. 23
   deadline.

   The Nov. 10 election will be Spain's fourth in four years.
