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.

"PMI Weakness and Election Uncertainty in Spain Impact Sentiment"

Weak business activity data in Germany and an inconclusive election result in Spain weighed on sentiment in European markets, causing world stocks to slip. The German Flash Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) showed a contraction in business activity, increasing the likelihood of a recession in the second half of the year. The euro slipped against the dollar, government bond yields in the euro area fell, and European stock markets dipped. With central bank meetings scheduled for the week, caution set in among investors. Spain faced political gridlock after the right-wing parties failed to secure a decisive victory in the national election, leaving small regional parties as potential kingmakers. Major Spanish lenders saw their shares decline. Investors also braced for a slew of earnings reports from major companies.
