Spain’s Sánchez calls snap election amid national housing crisis – Europe live

Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap election for 29 November, just days after rightwing parties blocked his minority government’s emergency measures on housing amid widespread protests ( 9:10 ).

The election will take place on Sunday, 29 November, the earliest possible date procedurally.

In a fierce address, Sánchez framed the election as choice between “regressing” under a “far-right coalition” or “keeping moving forward” with his progressive administration ( 9:04 , 9:09 , 9:17 ).

He said the election will be about who will guide Spain through a period of disruption amid high political tensions, global instability, climate emergency, and uncertainty posed by the rise of AI ( 9:13 ).
