Pedro Sánchez has resigned as leader of Spain’s Socialist party after losing a vote triggered by a party revolt. What’s happened to Spain’s socialist party? Shouts from the meeting at the party headquarters in Madrid were heard from outside as members argued over what the vote should be. One person stormed out before the end, saying the party was “broken”, and Sánchez eventually lost by 132 votes to 107 after a tumultuous 10-hour debate. The Socialists will be under interim management until a party conference can choose a new leader.
