Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for snap elections to be held on November 29th, following a defeat in Congress regarding his housing decrees. The decision was announced in an official statement from Moncloa, the official residence of the Prime Minister. Sánchez framed the upcoming elections as a referendum on the country’s future, presenting voters with a choice between his continued leadership and a shift towards a far-right agenda. He characterized the alternative as aligning with an “ultra-right wave.” This move comes after his government failed to secure parliamentary support for its housing policies, creating a political impasse. The early elections are now expected to trigger a period of intense campaigning across Spain. The outcome will determine the future direction of Spanish policy and governance.
