Spain's Ciudadanos seeks snap polls after ruling party's graft conviction

Spain's centrist Ciudadanos, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's ally in parliament, today called for a snap poll after Rajoy's conservative Popular Party was sentenced in a major graft trial.

But the party will oppose a no-confidence motion filed against Rajoy by the main opposition Socialists, Ciudadanos secretary general Jose Manuel Villegas told a news conference.
