Pedro Sánchez, Spain’s New Leader, Returns From the Political Wilderness-4
"It creates some
uncertainty — but nothing
like the Italian case," said
Dani Rodrik, a professor of
international political
economy at Harvard University's Kennedy
School of Government. (He
was referring to the Italian government that was formed in Rome this past
week between two parties
that have a history of
antagonism toward the
European Union and
immigration.) "It does not look like he has the
mandate or votes to do
much," Mr. Rodrik said of
Mr. Sánchez. Still, Mr. Sánchez has
defied the odds before. An
economist by training, he
was a relative unknown
when he was first elected
leader of his party, in 2014. His credentials at
that point were limited — he
had entered Parliament not
by winning votes in an
election, but as an internal
party substitute for a lawmaker who was leaving
his seat early.Source:NewYork Times
