Pedro Sanchez to call Spain election on November 29

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called for early legislative elections to be held on November 29.

Sanchez announced the decision from Moncloa, stating that he needs a much broader progressive majority to continue his government's social program and reforms. The move follows a defeat in Congress on Friday regarding two decrees intended to address the country's housing crisis.

The political impasse occurred after right-wing parties in Parliament rejected the government's housing plan. These elections move the voting date forward from the original schedule in the summer of 2027.
