Spain rocked by snap election call and housing protests
Original: spain
Spain is dominating headlines for two reasons. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called a snap election, a move analysts say could fracture the European Left. At the same time, tens of thousands are protesting the housing crisis after an 87-year-old woman, Maricarmen, was evicted in Madrid; her lawyer says she can now return home, and a tent camp demonstrating against evictions continues to grow.
Why now: A snap election call plus mass protests over a high-profile elderly woman's eviction have put Spain in the spotlight this week.
