Spain to have new cabinet by Rajoy after royal demand

‘Spain’s acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy says he has been tasked by the king to form a new government, the latest attempt to break a 10-month political deadlock in the European country and to bring the conservatives back to power.
Rajoy said on Tuesday that he had “accepted the task,” adding that he would now submit himself to a parliamentary vote of confidence, which is due this week.
The development came two days after Spain’s Socialists decided to stop opposing Rajoy and his Popular Party (PP) in the parliament and let the party govern alone.
