Spain's President Calls Early General Elections Amid Housing Crisis Pressure
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced the dissolution of Parliament and the advancement of general elections to November 29. This decision follows the parliamentary defeat of two housing decrees aimed at addressing the ongoing housing crisis, exacerbated by the eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid. In a statement from the Moncloa Palace, Sánchez urged voters to choose between a 'far-right wave' or maintaining Spain as a 'bastion of social justice.' He acknowledged his government's shortcomings but emphasized the need for a broader progressive majority to advance social reforms. The coalition government has struggled to pass legislation due to a lack of parliamentary support.
