Sanchez calls early elections for November 29 — Deutsche Welle

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced early general elections to be held on November 29. This was reported by Deutsche Welle. He announced the decision to hold the vote ahead of schedule in a televised statement on Monday.

Scheduled date

The next vote in Spain had been scheduled for 2027. In recent months, Sanchez repeatedly insisted that the government he leads would serve the full four-year term. The announcement means that the elections will take place before the end of that term.

Parliamentary vote

The announcement was preceded by the minority government's failure in parliament on Friday. Lawmakers rejected measures aimed at resolving the housing crisis. This parliamentary vote took place amid growing public pressure over housing costs, while large-scale protests were held in different parts of the country.
