News Analysis: Sanchez "survives" Spain's snap election


BARCELONA, Spain, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Spain's acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez "survived" his political duel with conservative People's Party (PP) leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo in the early general election on Sunday, and as no party emerged with a clear majority there is even the possibility that the Socialist leader could continue at the head of the same government, a Spanish political expert told Xinhua in an interview on Monday.

"The Spanish right thought it was going to finish Sanchez off, and while I wouldn't say Sanchez has emerged completely in good shape, he has survived this electoral tie and it's even possible Sanchez could repeat the government he has now," Jose Ramon Pin, an emeritus professor at IESE business school, told Xinhua.
