After refusing to participate in two televised debates with the leaders of opposition groups, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy finally agreed to a head-to-head contest against Socialist Party leader Pedro Sanchez. Not surprisingly, the debate exploded into an angry row. As explained in Daniela Sepulveda's report, the two politicians traded jabs in the course of what initially began as a calm debate.
