(MADRID) — Spain’s Socialist party says it will stop blocking the conservative Popular Party from forming a minority government, ending the country’s nearly 10-month political impasse. Members of the Socialists’ federal committee announced after meeting Sunday that they would abstain from voting against acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy during a confidence vote in Parliament. The committee voted 139 to 96 in favor of the abstention, a decision that should prevent a third election. Two inconclusive elections since last December left Rajoy in charge of a caretaker government.
