What people are saying
I have very clear that what is best for Spain is a PP government on its own, a government in which the PP has a comfortable majority in Congress and the Senate.
I am a democrat and I will accept, as is only right, the result at the ballot box.
That said, with a clear negotiating framework, clear agreements and clear red lines.
