Spain's Prime Minister Calls Snap Election After Housing Measures Defeated
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called a snap general election for November 29, 2026, following the parliamentary rejection of his government's housing relief measures amid widespread protests over rising rents and evictions. The minority Socialist government faced legislative setbacks as opposition parties, including the conservative Popular Party and far-right Vox, voted down emergency decrees aimed at protecting tenants. Sanchez framed the election as a choice between progressive policies and a right-wing shift, seeking a broader parliamentary majority to address Spain's housing crisis and other challenges.
