Spanish parliament votes out PM Mariano Rajoy, votes in Socialist Pedro Sanchez
Spain voted out its prime minister of more than six years in a no-confidence motion on Friday. Mariano Rajoy, who conceded defeat before the vote, was replaced by Socialist Pedro Sanchez, who won a slim majority of 180 votes. Rajoy was unseated following corruption convictions last week involving four members of his centre-right party. His ouster was the first in four decades of democracy since the dictatorship of Francisco Franco.
