Summary
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced an early general election for Nov. 29, after Parliament rejected emergency housing decrees last week aimed at reducing evictions and real estate speculation. The defeat came amid nationwide protests over housing affordability, fueled by outrage over the televised eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid last month. Sánchez said a broader progressive coalition is needed to address the country's biggest issues.
