Spain will have a coalition government for the first time in its modern history — including ministers from the far-left — after parliament confirmed Pedro Sánchez as prime minister by a wafer-thin margin, APA reports citing Financial Times.

Tuesday’s 167-165 vote, which came after a furious debate in the country’s chamber of deputies, paves the way for Mr Sánchez to be sworn in on Wednesday at the head of a coalition of his Socialists and the radical left Podemos movement.
