Spain's conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said Monday he saw it as his "obligation" to get along with France's Socialist president-elect Francois Hollande.

"Mr. Hollande has won and it is my obligation to get along with him," said Rajoy, who is pushing austerity cuts in Spain. The new French leader has called on the eurozone to broaden its focus to incorporate growth.
