Leading Podemos MP quits, tipping Spain’s far left party into chaos

By Belén Carreño MADRID (Reuters) - One of the founders of Spain's anti-austerity Podemos party, Inigo Errejon, gave up his seat in parliament on Monday, sending the movement - a key ally of the ruling Socialists - into disarray months before regional and municipal elections. Internal divisions in the far-left Podemos, whose support is instrumental for the survival of the minority centre-left Socialist government, could spell problems for Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. He came to power last June after ousting a conservative government and faces a general election next year.
