TEHRAN, Feb 13 - Spain's finance minister says that the country's prime minister will decide if and when to call a general election after parliament defeated the socialist administration's 2019 spending plan.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The 191-158 vote Wednesday in the lower house has exposed the weakness of the center-left minority government of Pedro Sanchez.
Maria Jesus Montero, the cabinet member in charge of the budget proposal, says the government had already said that Sanchez's term would be shortened if the spending plan didn't overcome the lower house's vote.
But she told reporters that the date for a new general election is "a prerogative that falls on the prime minister."
