Spain's Sánchez Calls Snap Election After Housing Reform Defeat

Politique

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced a snap parliamentary election in Spain after his government faced setbacks on housing reforms and migration challenges. Earlier BBC reports said the housing-reform decrees were rejected by parliament, prompting Sánchez to seek a broader progressive majority; polls indicated the Socialists were trailing the opposition. Analysts cited by Politico warned that a loss could weaken Spain’s influence in the European Council and complicate the coalition supporting Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
