Spanish PM Calls November 29 Election After 2 Housing Bills Falter

Summary
November 29 was set for Spain’s next national election after the prime minister moved up the vote amid a worsening housing crisis and mounting strain on his minority coalition.
Two housing bills failed to pass, and public anger intensified after the eviction of “Maricarmen,” reinforcing the sense that the government could no longer push through key measures.
Seven parties have been propping up the coalition, leaving it dependent on conflicting demands and vulnerable to accusations of drift, weak communication and corruption scandals affecting both allies and the ruling PSOE.
Polls point to another fragmented parliament, with the opposition PP likely needing Vox to govern and smaller parties again positioned to decide whether Spain gets a workable majority or renewed deadlock.
