Pedro Sánchez Is Calling an Election because He Has Lost the Narrative
- Pedro Sánchez announced a snap general election for November 29, aiming to regain control of Spain's political narrative after eight years in office.
- Since the Ceuta crisis, a stampede involving more than 70,000 migrants, Sánchez has lost his grip on the narrative; his Socialist-led government remains paralyzed and unable to pass a budget.
- Citing the eviction of an 87-year-old woman named Maricarmen as a symbol, Sánchez is pivoting to the housing crisis to mobilize support, though allies criticize his record on Rents as thin.
- If Sánchez loses, Alberto Feij of the Partido Popular would likely enter government with Vox; however, Sánchez previously confounded defeat predictions, leaving his coalition's arithmetic fractious.
- As leader of Europe's fourth-largest economy, Sánchez hopes to leverage his prominence among the 27 EU members to survive, though he now faces a narrative written by others.
