Spain's acting PM Rajoy to negotiate with Ciudadanos

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy got the green light from his conservative People's Party (PP) to negotiate with centrist rival Ciudadanos with the aim of forming a government, he said on Wednesday.

PP leaders met on Wednesday to discuss a six-point package of political reforms that Ciudadanos had set as a pre-condition of its support for Rajoy's bid for a second term.
