Spain's housing crisis prompts early polls
The housing crisis in Spain has placed great pressure on Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government, as rising rental costs and a shortage of homes have led to nationwide protests and the rejection by Parliament of government decrees related to tenant protection and housing market regulation. This crisis has obstructed the passage of important government measures, forcing Sánchez to dissolve Parliament and call early elections on November 29, 2026, in order to secure a new majority that would enable him to implement his political agenda. This move comes amid a deteriorating political situation and escalating social unrest, which has seen widespread street protests—especially after the eviction of an elderly woman who had lived in her home for over 70 years, a development that further intensified the protests. The early elections are an attempt by Sánchez to break the political deadlock and achieve a broader majority that would allow him to pass the necessary legislation to address the housing crisis and confront economic and political challenges.
