King Felipe VI of Spain has commented on the political blockade going on in the country saying that they need to find a solution ahead of elections.
“It is best to find a solution before going to elections,” the King said, adding, “Hopefully there is room for parties to find a solution.”

Spain’s general election took place in April 2019, and in June, King Felipe invited Pedro Sánchez to become Prime Minister of Spain. Since then, Sánchez worked and failed to form a government.

We will be aware of the situation, but we still have some days to enjoy the island. I hope.”
