Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is in a severe political crisis after a heavy defeat in parliament on Friday. Two emergency housing packages were rejected in the Congress: the first fell with 178 votes against and 172 in favor, and the second with 184 against and 166 in favor. The conservative parties (People's Party and Vox) and the Catalan party Junts voted against both, joined by the Basque Nationalist Party and the Canarian Coalition in the second vote. The proposals aimed to address growing housing protests, including extending protection for vulnerable tenants from eviction, extending rental contracts, tax relief, and restrictions on investment funds. The protest intensified following the eviction of Merikerman Abascal, an 87-year-old woman who became a public symbol. Sánchez hinted in parliament that "history will judge you sooner than you think," which was interpreted as preparation for elections. According to reports in Spanish media, socialist ministers are preparing for possible elections on November 29, but Sánchez is expected to wait for public opinion data before deciding.
