Briefings

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced early legislative elections on October 9, 2026, following the rejection of housing crisis measures by the Spanish Parliament. The government lost a vote on extraordinary housing decrees, with 172 votes against and 184 against the second measure, while 166 voted in favor. This decision was driven by intense public pressure following the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal and widespread demonstrations, with Sanchez admitting the government had made errors and needed renewed public support.
