«I have decided to convene the Council of Ministers today, to dissolve the Chambers and call early elections on November 29th». Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said this in an institutional statement from the Moncloa Palace.
After an intense weekend of consultations – with almost the entire Socialist Party (PSOE), its ministers, advisors and key allies – the Spanish prime minister announced his decision, a move supported by many PSOE representatives and collaborators.
Sanchez has spent the last few days evaluating the strategy to adopt in response to the rejection of the housing decrees.
The Spanish government «has approved courageous measures to protect the constitutional right to access to housing. We have strived to build a better world for our compatriots,” Sanchez added, “fighting the speculators who want to destroy the future of our sons and daughters to increase their income.” “We did everything we could do to defend the interests of the Spaniards”: this is what the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, stated in taking stock of his last government in an institutional declaration from the Moncloa presidential palace in Madrid. According to him, during his mandate inequality was “reduced” while the economy “was the one that grew the most in Europe”.
“We need to renew and expand public support,” he said. In his speech from Moncloa, Sanchez defended his government’s performance during the legislature and called on Spaniards to decide whether they want Spain to join the “far-right wave” that fuels regression and limits rights or whether they want the country to remain “a bastion of openness, social justice and environmental responsibility.”
