They may be ready to bow to its separatists in order to get it
THE PRESIDENT of the Basque Country, Iñigo Urkullu, said it best. As Pedro Sánchez tries to return as Spain’s prime minister, Mr Urkullu said he would need “all the votes of all the parties all the time”. July’s elections left no party alliance with a majority. Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the centre-right People’s Party, failed in a parliamentary vote to be installed as prime minister on September 29th.
Mr Sánchez, though he stayed silent about amnesty negotiations before the king asked him to seek a governing majority, has talked of a chance to “turn the page” on Catalonia. That would be quite something. But both of Catalonia’s main separatist parties say they are as committed as ever to independence. And Junts and the other party, Esquerra Republicana , are fierce rivals to lead the nationalist cause. Between them they are bidding up the price to be asked of Mr Sánchez.
