Pedro Sanchez was sworn in as Spain's prime minister Sunday, a day after the Socialist leader successfully ousted predecessor Mariano Rajoy who lost a no-confidence vote in parliament. Sanchez toppled Rajoy following a court ruling in a major corruption case involving the conservative leader's Popular Party. Sanchez and his party are staunch supporters of the EU and the shared currency. Sanchez has vowed to fight corruption and help those Spaniards affected by years of public spending cuts under Rajoy's government. The 46-year-old Sanchez is Spain's seventh prime minister since the return to democracy following the death of dictator Gen. Francisco Franco in 1975.
