Spain government calls snap election after local ballot losses
MADRID – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday called a snap election for July 23, a day after his left-wing coalition government suffered heavy losses in regional ballots.
It is highly unusual for a Spanish government to call a snap ballot after a poor performance in a regional vote, and his thinking behind bringing forward the national election was unclear. The results indicate that the PP and the anti-immigrant and anti-separatist Vox could unseat Mr Sanchez and his PSOE if they replicated that performance at national parliamentary level.
