Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has announced a snap general election for November 29. The decision follows a significant legislative defeat for his government last week regarding emergency measures intended to address the country's ongoing housing crisis.
The election call comes amid a period of heightened national tension, as large-scale public protests have intensified over housing affordability and availability. These demonstrations have transformed the housing issue into a central political flashpoint, forcing the administration to seek a new mandate following the failure of its proposed policy response.
