Spain's Sánchez Calls Snap Election Over Housing Crisis

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap general election for 29 November, months ahead of schedule, betting that public anger over Spain's housing crisis will bolster his fragile minority government. The vote follows mass protests after an 87-year-old woman was evicted from her Madrid home, and opposition parties' rejection of emergency housing measures. Sánchez's Socialists trail the conservative People's party in polls.
