The French Prime Minister accuses the radical left of creating chaos before the presidential elections

Sweden announced today (Tuesday) that it will send the Patriot air defense system to Poland, to protect a logistical base designated for military and civil support to Ukraine, according to Agence France-Presse.

The Swedish Armed Forces said in a statement that it would send the system and about 100 soldiers to protect the NATO logistics center in Gieshov.

“This contribution aims to ensure military and civilian support for Ukraine,” Foreign Minister Maria Malmir Steinergaard said during a press conference.

The Swedish force is scheduled to arrive in early December, to take over the mission as a successor to the Dutch force.

Sweden abandoned the policy of military non-alignment that it had followed for two centuries after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and joined NATO in March 2024.

Last year, Sweden began sending Gripen fighters to participate in an NATO mission to monitor Polish airspace.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced on Tuesday that his government will present two new draft laws to address the housing crisis, hoping to approve them through a special parliamentary process before the early elections scheduled for the end of next November, according to Agence France-Presse.

A special committee in Parliament, which was dissolved by the Prime Minister, will consider the two decrees, instead of the total number of 350 representatives.

After the majority of representatives rejected similar measures, on Friday; Which led to a political crisis. The government hopes that in this way it will be able to approve at least one of the two texts, to be applied in this case temporarily.

Sanchez spoke during a press conference about “21 measures” aimed at strengthening the “protection” of tenants in a real estate market that he described as “dysfunctional.”

The socialist leader stressed that the two texts aim to “facilitate people’s access to housing for rent at affordable prices, as well as the purchase of housing,” referring in particular to loans that may reach “50 thousand euros without interest” to buy a property for the first time.

Sanchez stressed to reporters that “this government will not surrender.”

The Special Committee, composed of 69 deputies, is the parliamentary body stipulated by the Constitution in the event of the dissolution of the House of Representatives, which has become effective since the decree calling for early elections on November 29 was published in the Spanish Official Gazette, on Tuesday morning.

Sanchez's leftist government did not enjoy an absolute majority in Parliament, which for years prevented the approval of its most prominent promises, but within this committee it was sufficient for it to obtain the support of small parties, including the Basque Nationalist Party, to ensure a vote in favor of the texts.

In this case, the opposition of representatives of the Catalan separatist “Guents” party will no longer be an obstacle, after it caused, on Friday, the rejection of the two previous government bills.

For its part, during the parliament session on Friday, the Basque Nationalist Party supported the first of the two projects related to housing, which stipulated suspending the evacuation of the most vulnerable people from their homes until 2030, and taking measures against what are known as “vulture funds,” accused of real estate speculation.
