Meloni phones Vox leader Abascal after Spain election

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 24 - Premier Giorgia Meloni phoned Vox leader Santiago Abascal after the hard-right party's disappointing showing in the Spanish general election Sunday night, Vox sources said Monday.
    In the election, the People's Party failed to get enough votes to form an expected government alliance with Vox, whose own vote fell significantly.
    The sources said the call between Meloni, who leads the European Conservatives and Reformists caucus of which Vox is a member, was "cordial".
    Spain's centre-left Premier Pedro Sanchez may be able to form a government with leftwing and regionalist parties, with the thinnest of majorities, or another snap general election may be called. (ANSA).
