king felipeKING Felipe VI will once again meet with Spain’s political parties in a last-minute bid to end months of political deadlock.

Attempts so far in finding a candidate capable of forming a new government to avoid a new election have failed.

The palace said in a statement today that the king will meet party representatives April 25-26.

The decision comes after Socialist party leader Pedro Sanchez failed to muster sufficient support in two parliamentary votes.
