Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap election for November 29 following growing protests over the country’s housing crisis and setbacks for his government in parliament.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap general election for November 29 as his government faces growing pressure over the country’s housing crisis.
Sánchez made the announcement in a televised address from the Palace of Moncloa, saying Spanish voters should decide the future direction of the country.
The move comes less than 72 hours after his government failed to secure parliamentary backing for two housing-related royal decree laws aimed at addressing rising public concern over housing costs and availability.
Sánchez acknowledged that his government had made mistakes and had not achieved everything it had promised.
The announcement follows days of protests across Spain, with hundreds of people camping in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol and demonstrations spreading to other cities.
Sánchez said he needed renewed and broader public support to carry out reforms and address inequality.
The November election will determine whether Sánchez remains in office or whether Spain moves toward a new political direction.
