Sánchez schedules Spain’s snap election for 29 NovemberThe vote had been due in summer 2027; lawmakers rejected a housing package on Friday.
- Sánchez said the move reflected a need for renewed public backing and a broader progressive majority.
- Parliament rejected two housing decrees by 178 votes to 172 and 184 votes to 166, respectively.
- About 50 demonstrations took place nationwide on Saturday, including in Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
- Most polls indicate the conservative People's Party could lead, but it would likely need Vox support to govern.
