The Prime Minister Of Spain Announced The Dissolution Of Parliament
1- 5.10.2026, 11:34
Early elections will be held in the country.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced on Monday that snap parliamentary elections would be held. The housing crisis was the immediate trigger, but the election will also take place against the backdrop of a migration crisis caused by tens of thousands of people storming the Spanish enclave in Morocco, according to Bloomberg.
Last week, parliament rejected a plan to address the housing crisis, which the government had hoped would quell the growing social protests. Discontent over housing affordability erupted into mass demonstrations after an 87-year-old woman with a disability was evicted from the apartment where she had lived for about 70 years. The building was purchased by a housing investment corporation, which demanded that the tenant pay a significantly higher rent. Following this, people in Madrid began spending the night in tents in public squares, protesting against such actions and demanding that the authorities address the housing crisis.
Sánchez’s Socialists came to power in 2018 but have remained in the minority ever since. Their current term, which began in 2023 and is set to end in July 2027, has proven particularly challenging. Sánchez’s party and even his family have been embroiled in corruption scandals; the government failed to cope with the major floods of 2025; and last summer, some 80,000 undocumented migrants stormed into Ceuta, sparking a new wave of public discontent.
Sánchez, however, refused to take tough measures in Ceuta or to criticize the Moroccan authorities, without whose connivance such a large-scale border breach would hardly have been possible.
The center-right People’s Party is currently leading in the polls: according to SocioMétrica, it has 33.9% support, Bloomberg notes. According to party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the party could form a government with the far-right Vox, which 18% of voters are willing to support. Sánchez’s Socialists would receive 25.7% of the vote.
“We cannot continue down the path we are on now,” Feijóo said on Friday after the government’s housing plan was rejected.
