Even Spain’s center-right opposition leader, Alberto Nunez Feijoo, doesn’t seem to think he’ll garner enough votes in parliament next week to allow him to become prime minister and oust Socialist leader Pedro Sanchez.

Feijoo’s People’s Party will hold a protest over the weekend against Sanchez’s plan for a new term — even though Feijoo himself is due to ask lawmakers to support his plans to govern in a debate starting Sept. 26.
