In the 2016 general election, he was defeated by the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy. The party of Mariano Rajoy was believed to have had many corruption scandals. Because of this, a lot of people in the Spanish congress voted to remove him from presidency on 1 June 2018.[2] He later had the most votes on the elections of April 2019, but he could not find enough allies to form goverment, so the elections were repeated on November 2019 and then he formed a government with the party Unidas Podemos.[3] On July 2023, there were other elections. His party was not the most voted, but he still can form a government if he finds enough allies in other parties.
In November 2022, he became President of the Socialist International.
