MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's new Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Monday the European Union should be a space of economic and social cohesion and that inequalities within the bloc must be reduced.

Sanchez was propelled into office on Friday after an unlikely alliance of anti-austerity and nationalist parties backed his bid to oust Mariano Rajoy's conservatives over a corruption scandal.
