Pedro Sánchez enters a period of reflection. The Prime Minister will use this weekend to decide whether to bring forward the general election after Congress on Friday threw out two housing decrees put forward by his Socialist government.
The parliamentary defeat leaves the government facing a new scenario and Sánchez having to decide on the future of the legislature. According to government sources cited by several national media outlets, the prime minister will, over the coming days, consider whether to call elections before the end of the year.
