Spain prepares for 29 November general elections

Official campaigning begins this Friday as Spain faces a housing strike, political interviews, and a Supreme Court ruling on voting rights.

Spain is preparing for general elections on 29 November 2026, following the earlier dissolution of the courts. The official campaign period begins at midnight on 13 November. Ahead of this, a railway accident has been reported in the town of Urda.

President Pedro Sánchez will appear on La Séptima this Monday, while the Vox leader is set for an interview on TVE's La revuelta. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has rejected a bid by Vox and Iustitia Europa to suspend voting rights for 'ley de nietos' heirs.

A nationwide general strike over the housing crisis, initiated by Sindicato de Inquilinas and backed by CCOO and UGT, is scheduled for 11 November. This follows the candidacy announcements of Emilio Delgado for Madrid and Jordi Hereu for Barcelona.
