Door opens for Sánchez as Spanish lawmakers reject Feijóo’s PM bid again

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:22:08 GMT

It’s Pedro Sánchez‘s time to shine.Center-right Popular Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo on Friday failed to win a second vote on his bid to form a government. Just as they did when an initial vote was held Wednesday, a majority of Spanish lawmakers rejected the conservative boss’s candidacy, with 177 voting against him and 172 in favor.One vote was declared void: That of Catalan separatist Junts party MP Eduard Pujol, who accidentally voted for Feijóo but quickly retracted his support.With Feijóo’s bid to become PM definitively rebuffed by the parliament, Spain’s King Felipe VI must now summon political leaders to Zarzuela Palace and once again quiz them on whom they think should be prime minister. The obvious candidate is caretaker PM and Socialist Party leader Sánchez, who has been biding his time while his conservative rival embarked on a quixotic quest to form a government.In order to be reappointed prime minister, Sánchez needs to secure maj...

BRUSSELS — The EU has prolonged temporary protection for Ukrainians fleeing from war.Interior ministers for the European Union on Thursday supported extending measures — triggered in the immediate wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — until March 2025.

She added that this includes around 750,000 working in Europe, while more than 300,000 are seeking a job through public employment services.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the extension of the directive during her ann...

Stock market today: Wall Street heads for gains, but not enough to salvage a big September slide

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:22:08 GMT

BANGKOK — Wall Street pointed higher early Friday as markets try to claw back some of the losses in what will most likely be the second straight month of declines and the worst month of 2024.Futures for the Dow Jones industrials and the S&P 500 rose about 0.5% before the opening bell.Entering the last day of September trading, the S&P is down 4.6% for the month, while the Dow has seen a 3% decline. That follows August’s declines of 2.4% for the Dow and 1.8% for the S&P 500.Most of the market’s recent anxiety has been centered on the Federal Reserve that has signaled interest rates will likely remain elevated for longer than most economists expected as the fight against inflation proves difficult. While prices increases have slowed significantly in the past year, they remain above the Fed’s 2% target.The Fed has stoked its main interest rate to the highest level since 2001 in hopes of extinguishing high inflation, and it indicated last week it may cut ra...
