Spain's embattled Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy offered Monday to dialogue with other political groupings to form a government after his conservative party lost its majority in elections that have left him battling to stay in power.

"We have the responsibility to launch a process of dialogue to offer certainty within and outside Spain," he told reporters in his first press briefing since Sunday polls that saw two upstart groupings, Podemos and Ciudadanos, come third and fourth, ending decades of two-party rule.
