Pedro Sanchez sworn in as Spanish PM

Madrid: Spain’s Socialist chief Pedro Sanchez was sworn in as Prime Minister Saturday, a day after ousting Mariano Rajoy in a historic no-confidence vote sparked by fury over corruption woes afflicting the conservative leader’s party. Sanchez, a 46-year-old economist with no government experience who has made a spectacular comeback to the frontline of politics, took the oath of office before King Felipe VI in the Zarzuela Palace near Madrid.
