Rome (Italy), Feb 12 (EFE) .- (CAMERA: Álvaro Padilla) The candidate for Prime Minister of Italy, the economist Mario Draghi, arrived at the Quirinale Palace to meet with the Head of State, Sergio Mattarella.
Spain's King Felipe VI meets with the country's party leaders in a bid to break an impasse over the formation of a new government following inconclusive elections last month. Acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has headed a caretaker government with reduced powers since a July 23 general election produced a hung parliament, in which a ruling majority cannot easily be formed. While his Socialist party finished second behind the conservative Popular Party (PP), it is better positioned as it has more potential partners. IMAGES

Italian President Sergio Mattarella arrives at the Quirinale Palace in Rome for the guard of honour as he is sworn in for a second term. Mattarella, a former constitutional court judge who has already served seven years as Italy's president, was elected after parliament begged him to stay on to stave off a looming political crisis, and few expect the 80-year-old to see through another full term.
