Spain PM suspending duties 'unprecedented' - analyst

STORY: Murado said the most likely scenario for Monday (April 29) when Sanchez will announce his decision on whether he will remain as prime minister on or quit, is that he may call a confidence vote in Parliament in order to strengthen his position.

However, Murado said Sanchez is known to be unpredictable.

With two big elections coming up in Catalonia and Europe, quitting would be very harmful to the Socialist Party, Murado added.
