Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap general election for November 29, 2026, following the defeat of his government's emergency housing decrees in parliament. The legislative failure, orchestrated by a coalition of right-wing parties and Catalan separatists, served as the final straw for a minority government already embattled by corruption scandals involving Sánchez's inner circle and a major migrant surge in Ceuta. Sánchez hopes to mobilize left-wing voters around housing affordability, while the conservative People's Party leads in opinion polls.
