Madrid: Spain's parliament voted conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy back into power Saturday, ending a rollercoaster, 10-month political crisis despite bitter opposition and divisions.
170 lawmakers voted for Rajoy, 111 against and 68 abstained -- the latter all believed to be Socialist MPs, in line with a reluctant party decision to let its arch-rival govern in order to unblock a protracted political deadlock.
