Spanish PM Sánchez Calls Snap Election After Housing Plan Defeat

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called an early election for November 29 after parliament rejected a housing plan last week. The plan was intended to quell mounting social protests, but its failure has triggered a snap vote. The political uncertainty comes as Spain faces widespread demonstrations over housing affordability and social conditions. Bloomberg's Rodrigo Orihuela reports on the implications of the snap election for Spain's political landscape and economic outlook. The vote will be closely watched by investors and European partners, as it could signal a shift in the country's direction. Sánchez's decision to call an early election reflects the challenges his government faces in addressing public discontent.
