In order to avoid new elections in four months, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has offered the secretary general of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, a possible agreement to face a legislature that would last a maximum of two years and would be marked by six state pacts with which “the pending reforms for our country” could be “undertaken”.
