Pedro Sánchez is betting on early elections and populist policies

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

Sánchez, who has led minority governments for eight years, is framing this move as a strategic response to current political challenges. The upcoming election represents a significant shift in the Spanish legislative calendar as the administration seeks a new mandate following the recent parliamentary defeat.
