Housing Crisis Pushes Spain Toward November Election

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap general election for November 29, bringing forward the end of the parliamentary term amid growing anger over the country’s housing crisis, according to CNN.

Hundreds have demonstrated in Madrid, while the organizers claimed about 950,000 people joined protests nationwide over the weekend. Housing is expected to become a central issue in the campaign.

Sánchez’s Socialist Workers’ Party has also faced regional election setbacks and corruption controversies involving associates. His government has struggled to pass legislation and has operated without an approved budget for three years.

Opinion polls cited by CNN show the conservative Popular Party leading. A coalition involving the Popular Party and Vox is among the possible outcomes, although the election result remains uncertain.
