Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap general election for November 29, dissolving parliament more than six months ahead of its scheduled term. The decision follows the rejection of government measures aimed at addressing Spain’s housing crisis and widespread public discontent, which saw tens of thousands protest over the weekend. This political development adds to existing Eurozone political and fiscal risks [STORY_ID: 0b37df5d-5e4c-4b38-9d9b-2366b793992]. Recent polls indicate the Partido Popular (PP) currently leads, with the far-right Vox party potentially holding a decisive role in forming a new government. The early election introduces a period of heightened political uncertainty for the Eurozone’s fourth-largest economy.
