Yesterday Basque nationalist party PNV officially confirmed that they would not be engaging in talks between the two parties, and they would not be supporting a PP led government.

Currently only Vox has said they will support a Feijóo led administration, whilst other parties have yet to formally announce their intention either to abstain or vote against a PP headed government.

PP and Vox failed to gain a majority between them on Sundays General Election, only securing 169 seats between them, 7 short of the number needed to gain a majority.
