> Spain’s Congress rejected two government decree-laws intended to address the housing crisis, dealing a defeat to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The measures followed protests over the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal, and the loss has increased pressure on Sánchez to call an early election amid existing scandals affecting his party and allies.
