Pablo Iglesias thanks Pedro Sánchez for "telling the truth about oligarchic powers" in Spain and "recognising he was wrong about us".
Pedro Sánchez says El País pressured him in meetings into doing a deal with Rajoy "or our editorials will go against you".
Pedro Sánchez accuses Telefónica and Spanish banks of using power to influence editorial line of El País and pressure him to avoid Podemos.
Pedro Sánchez admits in TV interview it was "an error" to sign deal only with Ciudadanos and not also with Podemos.
Quite interesting ! If Sanchez was to regain leadership post , might he reconsider PSOE & Podemos Coalition ?

The Speaker of Congress has formally notified His Majesty the King that parliament has confidence in Mariano Rajoy.
