Popularity boost from housing protests prompts Spain's leftwing leader to call snap vote | DW News

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced snap elections. It comes after center-right and far-right lawmakers in the Spanish parliament defeated a package of measures to tackle the country's deepening housing crisis. Sanchez' backing for the measures have boosted his popularity at a time when a series of scandals have damaged the reputation of his Socialist Party.
