Signature

In the 2016 general election, he was defeated by the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy. The party of Mariano Rajoy was believed to have had many corruption scandals. Because of this, a lot of people in the Spanish congress voted to remove him from presidency on 1 June 2018.[2] He later won elections in April 2019, but he did not have good governmental organizational skills. On November 2019 he won other elections and on 7 January 2020, he also formed a government with the party Unidas Podemos.[3] On 29 May 2023, Pedro Sánchez made an electoral advance of elections.
