Spain will hold an early election on 29 November, Prime Minister Sánchez has announced, after his government suffered recent defeats over measures designed to tackle the country’s housing crisis.
The announcement follows protests over housing, an issue that has placed pressure on the government. The defeated measures were intended to respond to the crisis, although the supplied information does not specify their content or the nature of the votes.
Sánchez’s decision will bring Spain to the polls earlier than previously expected. No further details about the election campaign, the government’s response to the protests or the political parties involved have been provided.
The latest confirmed position is that the election is scheduled for 29 November, with the announcement coming after the setbacks over housing policy.
