Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and the leader of the conservative opposition agreed on Friday to ask the European Commission to mediate an end to a five-year political stalemate over appointments to the body that names judges in Spain. "I've asked to involve the European Commission in the negotiation," People's Party (PP) leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo told reporters after a meeting with Sanchez, who secured another term as prime minister last month. "He (Sanchez) is ready to let the European Commission supervise the appointment of the judicial power," Feijoo added.
