Spain DESPERATELY attempts to prevent Eurozone CRISIS as Rajoy vows to REMAIN in power
The Prime Minister insisted it was his 'intention' was to 'carry out the mandate'
Mr Rajoy was questioned by an opposition lawmaker on whether he would step down ahead of the vote that has the European Union on alert.
The Prime Minister insisted it was his “intention” was to "carry out the mandate granted by Spaniards" and serve out the remainder of his term.
This would see Mr Rajoy at the reigns of Madrid until 2020.
In an attempt to reaffirm his position at the top of Spanish politics, the Prime Minister said his party won “over 50 more seats” in the nation’s last general election in June 2016 than the second most voted party, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.
