Sánchez Calls November 29 Election After Housing Decree Defeat

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called an early general election for November 29, 2026, after his minority government failed to pass emergency housing legislation. The decision follows nationwide protests triggered by the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal and growing political pressure from corruption scandals. Although polls favor the conservative opposition, Sánchez aims to leverage public anger over housing to secure a broader progressive majority before the scheduled 2027 vote.

Sánchez Calls November 29 Snap Election After Housing Decree Defeat

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap election for November 29, 2026, following the parliamentary rejection of emergency housing measures. The decision comes after nationwide protests triggered by the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal. While Sánchez seeks a broader progressive majority to pass reforms, polls favor the conservative opposition, and analysts view the move as a high-risk gamble to mobilize left-wing voters against a backdrop of corruption scandals and economic concerns.

Thai conservatives clinch surprise victory, signaling a turn toward stability and royalist rule

With about 89% of votes tallied, Bhumjaithai—the conservative royalist party—won 194 seats in Thailand’s 500-seat House, edging out the reformist People’s Party and signaling a shift toward stability. Leader Anutin Charnvirakul’s bloc could control both chambers, aided by a senate favorable to his coalition. The result ends a wave of earlier reformist momentum and comes amid ongoing security concerns, including border tensions with Cambodia, which Anutin leveraged to push a tough-on-security platform. Analysts say voters prioritized continuity and governance over rapid reform.

"Spanish PM Sanchez's Snap Election Hopes Rely on Fear of Far-Right"

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is hoping to win the snap general election by remobilizing the left to prevent a possible coalition between the conservative People's Party and the far-right Vox party. Despite negative polls and setbacks in previous elections, Sanchez is using the fear of the far right coming to power to mobilize the left-wing electorate. The opposition has criticized Sanchez for his record and intends to repeal his implemented reforms. Polls indicate that the People's Party will win the election, but it remains to be seen if they will need Vox's backing.

Spain's Left Unites for Snap Election, Boosting PM Sanchez.

Over a dozen leftist parties, including Podemos, have formed an alliance called Sumar ahead of Spain's snap elections in July to create a united front against the conservative People's Party. The deal could improve the likelihood of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez being confirmed at the ballot box. However, analysts say that a right-wing government remains the most likely outcome of the elections, especially if the People's Party teams up with far-right party Vox.

Spain's Prime Minister Sanchez Takes a Risk with Snap Election Call

After his party's defeat in regional and municipal elections, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for snap elections on July 23rd. The conservative opposition People's Party (PP) won in several regions, including one that has been held by the Socialists since 1978. The PP will need the support of the hard-right Vox to govern in most of the regions it has won. Sánchez's coalition partner, Podemos, was also pummelled, and parties to the left of the Socialists must reorganise themselves quickly.
