Snap vote called after Parliament rejects measures to protect tenants and freeze rents. Rising frustration about housing shortages and surging rents in Spain has led to mass protests. The demonstrations started last month after the eviction of Maricarmen Abascal, who died at age 87 this week. The Socialist-led government tried to introduce measures to protect tenants and freeze rents, but Parliament rejected them. The conservative opposition says the solution is to ease regulations and build more homes. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has since announced early elections. Analysts say he wants to galvanise support, as he faces pressure on immigration and corruption investigations into his party.
