Spain parliament to vote on Rajoy

‘Spain’s acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is to make another effort to win a parliamentary confidence vote to win a second term in office and form a new government to end the 8-month political deadlock festering the country.
The attempt to win a vote of confidence in parliament on Friday at about 8:00 p.m. local time (1800 GMT) is Rajoy’s second effort in that regard this week.
