Spain's current acting PM quoted by PP official and out on Reuters

Last week I reported on his resolve to lead a coalition govt in the wake of recent elections but this week the Socialists leader Sanchez has said he will not support such a deal.

Sanchez has been vocal again today so I guess Rajoy is just trying to re-iterate his intentions too.

The waiting game and lobbying will continue but the euro is and has been largely unaffected so far.

Rajoy - Still hoping to remain PM
