The Spanish Church wished “light and strength” to premier Pedro Sánchez after his Socialist Party took a strong lead in Sunday’s election, almost certainly enabling it to stay in office.
In a letter to the prime minister on Monday, bishops’ conference president Cardinal Ricardo Blázquez said: “The support your project has received is a sign of the confidence Spaniards place in you to work for the common good. You will have loyal collaboration in this work from our episcopal conference, which is also at the service of society.”
