Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap election for 29 November. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing The Guardian.
The election will take place on Sunday, 29 November, the earliest possible date procedurally. The decision came just days after rightwing parties blocked his minority government's emergency measures on housing amid widespread protests.
In a fierce address, Sánchez framed the election as a choice between "regressing" under a "far-right coalition" or "keeping moving forward" with his progressive administration.
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.
The political crisis in Spain has thus intensified over disagreements on housing policy. The prime minister's decision heightens concerns about political stability in the country.
