Spain’s Ciudadanos Sees Role as Opponent of Sanchez Government

Ciudadanos’s role is to help lead the opposition to Spain’s acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, party leader Albert Rivera said, throwing cold water on speculation the two will ally to form a stable government.

“I commit to being in opposition but thinking of Spain,” Rivera told broadcaster Telecinco in an interview Tuesday. “If we can’t govern, we will be in opposition that safeguards the constitution, makes sure they don’t destroy the economy.”
