Still no government formed. It looks increasingly likely that there will be a second election to try to break the dead lock.

The 25-26 April last round of talks between the King and party leaders to clarify whether a final round of government formation talks makes sense seems to have been cut short. It is expected the King later today will inform the Speaker that attempting a third investiture vote is futile, which ends the government formation proces.

Perhaps I should add that preparations for the election have been underway since 12 April. The parties are already campaigning, a dissolution decree has been prepared, Cortes is gearing up for dissolution, and most media and political pundits - and even the King himself - take a new election for granted.
