According to journalist Enric Juliana, Dilma Rousseff contacted Iglesias and advised him not to carry the responsibility for a new election on his shoulder, as the consequences would be devastating for him and Podemos. In other words, Iglesias gave up to prevent the suicide of his organization

Why is Dilma Rousseff relevant to Spain?

Apparently, his Chief of Staff, Pablo Gentili, & her are close.

At this rate, Sanchez is believing the polls, will allow Spain to go to a 2nd election, & will end up like Theresa May.

What is the earliest the next investiture vote can be held?  Do they have to wait until September or if PSOE + Podemos strike an agreement can they call one earlier since once they have an agreement they have the numbers.  It seems largely egos here is the big thing standing in between one as Podemos was asking for more ministries than realistic, but PSOE saying none initially also delayed the talks and created a lot of bad will.

King Felipe can schedule a new round of talks to establish whether any candidate stands a chance of becoming the next PM any time ahead of the September 23rd deadline. Of course, the only politician who stands a chance is Sánchez, with a new investiture hearing able to set before the deadline upon confirmation that he has sufficient support to win the vote.

So, with Garzón as potential minister I would like to ask: was there at any point in the past PCE minister in the government? Maybe in the 30s?

Yeah you have to go back to September 1936 to find PCE ministers again; after the cabinte reshuffle on the Republican government because of the start of the civil war.

But Garzon will be the first PCE minister during peace time I guess

Funnily enough, this is the most left-wing government that Spain has seen since 1936, & the most right-wing opposition that Spain has seen since (you guessed it) 1936.

Let's reeeeeally hope that history doesn't repeat itself any further.
