Spain's Socialists are open to negotiating deals with rivals
MADRID: A senior Socialist official in Spain[1] says her party is ready to negotiate deals with rival parties after it won a general election but failed to obtain a parliamentary majority.
Isabel Celaa, spokeswoman for the Socialist caretaker government[2], says her party is capable of running the country as a minority government[3]. But she said on Tuesday the Socialists "are open to talking to everybody" on certain topics that might smooth the government's work.
She says Spain "needs to build bridges" after a spell of political instability. She says her party "has plenty of experience of deal-making" and is ruling nothing out.
After capturing 123 seats in the 350-seat parliament in Sunday's ballot, the Socialists need to get the support of smaller rival parties to pass legislation.
