The PSOE has revolted this Monday against the PP and Vox for sowing doubts about the electoral system, just minutes after the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, brought forward the general elections to November 29 in search of a "much larger progressive majority." At the entrance of the Federal Executive in Ferraz, several leaders have charged against the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who has asked citizens to avoid voting by mail. Félix Bolaños has asked the Madrid leader and the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, to "not talk nonsense" and not sow doubts about a "one hundred percent secure" system. Montse Mínguez, socialist spokesperson, has asked Alberto Núñez Feijóo to disavow his baroness. While the space to the left of the PSOE accelerates to be ready on 29N. The Frente Amplio, still without a candidate - Mónica García is running, but she is not the only one - says it is "prepared" for the elections and willing to "welcome more organizations", in reference to parties like Podemos, which calls for open primaries to elect the leader. For his part, Feijóo has celebrated the electoral advance. “Finally the Spaniards will decide,” he stated. "This is not about the PP beating the PSOE, these are not elections like the previous ones. It is about Spain beating Sánchez," explained the popular leader.

Junts spokesperson in Congress, Míriam Nogueras, remains Junts' bet to lead the candidacy for the general elections on November 29, according to party sources. After defending his group's no to the housing decrees, both in public and private, Nogueras has the full "support" of both the general secretary of Junts, Jordi Turull, and the former president Carles Puigdemont to head the list, sources from the management point out to the Efe agency, waiting to complete the internal procedures for its proclamation.

Hundreds of people are already gathering in Barcelona in the first demonstration for housing after the fall of the two Government decrees. The protest was initially scheduled for last Saturday, but was postponed due to the storm that has affected the city.

The majority unions in Spain, CC OO and UGT, will go on a general strike due to the housing access crisis that Spain is suffering, as union sources have confirmed. The date of the strike has not yet been defined, but whatever the case it will take place before the general elections that Pedro Sánchez has called for November 29.

MEP Luis Alvise Pérez Fernández has announced that his party Se Acabó la Fiesta (SALF) will run in the general elections on November 29 and that he will be the head of the list for Madrid.

The general secretary of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegi, assured this Monday that if it is in the hands of his formation, the “reactionary bloc” will not govern after the general elections on November 29.

Tens of thousands demonstrate in Barcelona for a general housing strike

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Barcelona to demand a general strike for housing, called by groups such as the Sindicat de Llogateres, the PAH and the Sindicat d'Habitatge Socialista, with the support of CCOO, UGT and CGT. The demonstration, initially planned for L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, was redirected to the Arc del Triomf due to the large influx. The organizers link the protest to the announcement of early elections by Pedro Sánchez and criticize the housing decrees as insufficient measures to address the structural crisis of access to housing.
