Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez Calls General Election For April 28

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Friday called a snap national election for April 28, after losing a key budget vote.

“Between doing nothing and continuing without the budget and calling on Spaniards to have their say, I choose the second. Spain needs to keep advancing, progressing with tolerance, respect, moderation and common sense,”

Sanchez said in a televised address to the nation following a cabinet meeting.

“I have proposed to dissolve parliament and call
elections for April 28th.”
