Spain's Sánchez calls a snap election for 29 November after his housing plan fails
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called an early general election after Parliament rejected his housing measures, CNA and the Business Times reported. Other outlets give the date as 29 November. Polls suggest a coalition led by the conservative People's Party with Vox as the most likely outcome.

Little direct effect on Singapore readers, but watch for market reaction in European bonds.
The campaign will test whether housing can win votes for the left.
