PoliticsCould Spain’s housing protests force a snap election? Analysis

Spanish freelance journalist Jaime Velazquez says about 500,000 people joined housing protests in Madrid and other cities after parliament rejected the government’s emergency housing decrees on Friday. He calls the mobilisation the largest since the 2011 Indignados movement and says protesters are not backing down, leaving Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in a difficult position, including over whether to call a snap election.
