Spain's left-wing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced new elections for November 29th in a televised speech. In doing so, he drew the consequences of the defeat of his minority government in a vote in parliament.
On Friday, the left-wing government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez failed in parliament with two decrees with which it wanted to take action against rising rents and evictions, due to resistance from conservative and right-wing populist MPs. In the days before, there were protests involving tens of thousands of people across Spain for the right to housing following the high-profile eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid.
With the failure of the decrees, Sánchez's government has slipped into a serious crisis. She has hardly been able to get any initiatives through parliament since the conservative Catalan separatist party Junts, with seven MPs, broke their allegiance to her almost a year ago.
