Spain's Political Landscape Shifts with Snap Election Announcement.
TL;DR Summary
Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced a snap general election on July 23 after his Socialist Party suffered setbacks in regional elections on Sunday. The conservative People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox parties secured major wins in the regional elections. Sanchez hopes to cut short gains by conservatives and short circuit the PP's rise as soon as possible. The move comes as Spain is set to assume the European Union's rotating presidency on July 1.
