General elections in Spain: dissolution of Parliament

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has announced the dissolution of Parliament and the scheduling of general elections for Sunday, November 29. The decision follows a legislative setback in which two government-proposed decrees regarding housing were defeated in Parliament.

The move to call early elections marks a significant shift in the current political climate, directly linking the parliamentary defeat on housing policy to the dissolution of the legislative body. This development reflects the ongoing challenges surrounding housing affordability, an issue identified globally as a primary barrier to family formation among younger generations.
