Premierul Sánchez convoacă alegeri anticipate în Spania

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced early general elections for November 29, following weeks of protests over housing issues and recent parliamentary defeats. Sánchez highlighted the government's achievements despite challenges, including the Ukraine war. The decision comes after significant public outcry, particularly after a vulnerable tenant faced a drastic rent increase. Recent legislative proposals aimed at protecting tenants were rejected in parliament, intensifying pressure on Sánchez's coalition government, which lacks a parliamentary majority. The elections will occur nearly a year and a half earlier than scheduled, originally set for summer 2027.
