Anti-austerity Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias met with Spain’s King Felipe VI and said that he will support a new Socialist government alongside another anti-austerity group, the United Left.

“Spain doesn’t have to wait for Rajoy,” Iglesias told a news conference in Madrid.. “I am ready to get to work” adding that “If the PSOE [the Spanish Socialist party] wants it, there can be a government of change,”.

Mariano Rajoy, leader of the conservative Popular party, was the winner of the elections, but until now has not been able to form a government.

Podemos party, which came third in the elections conducted in December in Spain, paves now the way for forming a coalition government with the Socialist Party saying that he was ready to accept Pedro Sánchez, the leader of the Socialist party, as prime minister, claiming for himself the role of deputy prime minister.
