How Spain's housing crisis has resulted in an early general election

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that Spain will hold a general election on 29 November after his Socialist‑led government failed to secure passage of housing legislation in the Congress of Deputies. Sánchez’s bid for a second term faces steep odds; recent polls place his party behind the People’s Party, which analysts say is likely to seek a coalition with the far‑right Vox. In the statement announcing the vote, Sánchez cautioned voters about what he described as the "extreme‑right wave" spreading across other nations and urged Spain to remain a worldwide model of "peace, feminism and prosperity".
