Supreme Court clears path for Puigdemont’s return after rejecting Vox appeal

Spain’s Supreme Court has rejected a far-right appeal to reinstate arrest warrants for former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont and two ex-ministers, allowing them to return to Spain. This decision follows a Constitutional Court ruling that overturned the Supreme Court’s earlier exclusion of these figures from a 2024 amnesty law. Puigdemont, who fled to Belgium after the 2017 independence referendum, remains a political figure but has not yet announced a return date.

Spain's Sánchez Calls November 29 Vote After Housing Defeat

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced a snap election for November 29 after his minority government failed to pass emergency housing legislation. The vote follows months of escalating crises, including a migrant surge in Ceuta and corruption scandals involving his inner circle. While Sánchez aims to mobilize left-wing voters against a potential far-right coalition, polls show his Socialist party trailing the conservative People's Party.

Sánchez Calls November 29 Snap Election After Housing Defeat and Rising Political Pressure

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called an early general election for November 29, 2026, after the lower house rejected two emergency housing decrees. The decision follows weeks of nationwide protests triggered by the eviction of an 87-year-old woman and intensifying pressure from corruption scandals and a migration crisis in Ceuta. Although polls favor the conservative opposition, Sánchez aims to capitalize on public anger over unaffordable housing to secure a broader progressive majority. The move is viewed as a high-risk gamble that could end one of Europe’s last remaining left-leaning governments if the far-right gains power.

Andalusia vote upends Spain’s 2027 electoral calculus

Spain’s Socialists suffered a historic defeat in Andalusia, losing their longtime stronghold to the conservative PP, which could rely on Vox for a coalition and signal a shift to the right ahead of the 2027 general election; with PP leading nationally and Sánchez vowing to stay in office, the left faces a tougher path as Adelante Andalucía gains ground and Sumar struggles.

Machado courts Spain’s right as Venezuela’s opposition splits on social issues

Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado traveled to Madrid to court Spain's conservative PP and Vox, choosing meetings with right-wing leaders over Sánchez's Socialist government; while she shares a liberal economic outlook with PP head Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Machado remains more conservative on social issues such as abortion, underscoring a split between a fragmented Venezuelan opposition and Spain's organized conservative bloc.

Trump Feud Becomes Unexpected Lifeline for Spain’s Controversial PM

Spain’s PM Pedro Sánchez, squeezed by domestic scandals tied to former allies and a weakened majority, has found an unintended lifeline in his public feuds with Donald Trump. The tariff battles and the Iran crisis have shifted attention away from internal crises, briefly boosting his international stature and polling, even as critics warn his confrontational tactics risk entrenching the far right at home.

Aragón regional vote boosts Vox, deals blow to PSOE

In Aragón’s regional election, the PP led with 34.3% and 26 seats but fell short of a majority in the 67-seat assembly; the Socialists dropped to 24.3% and 18 seats, their worst Aragón result, while Vox surged to 14 seats with about 17.9% support. The result is framed as a barometer of national sentiment, potentially paving the way for a PP–Vox coalition and signaling a stronger far-right presence ahead of Castilla y León and Andalusia votes amid corruption and rail-incident turmoil affecting Sánchez’s government.
