Spain's Socialist party, led by incumbent Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is on pace to win 123 out of the 350 seats in parliament after Sunday's snap election — far more than any other party, but not enough to secure a majority without a coalition, Politico Europe reports.
The big picture: It's unclear what Sánchez's path forward will look like. He'll need the support of separatist parties to form a government, but — as Axios' Dave Lawler points out — a dispute with pro-independence parties is what forced him to call the election in the first place. Sunday's election, which reportedly produced the highest voter turnout in Spanish history (75%), also saw far-right Vox pick up enough seats to enter parliament for the first time ever.
