Socialist Party leader Pedro Sanchez talks to journalists during a news conference following his meeting with Spain’s acting Prime Minister and Popular Party leader Mariano Rajoy at the Spanish parliament in Madrid, Monday, Aug. 29, 2016. Rajoy met with Sanchez in a last-ditch effort to convince him not to scupper the premier’s bid to form a government this week and end the country’s eight-month political impasse following two inconclusive elections.
