Spanish PM Sánchez Calls Snap Election for Nov 29

The timing is the story: dissolving parliament early hands the initiative to Sánchez rather than letting the term expire on his opponents' schedule, which is a bet that the current political moment favors him more than the one further out. For markets, Spanish assets now carry election risk through the autumn, though the item gives no polling or policy signals to price against. The open question is whether other parties frame the snap vote as a verdict on Sánchez's government or on their own alternatives — that framing, not the date itself, will shape how Madrid is read in the weeks ahead.
