Spain PM pins hopes on housing crisis to help win snap election
Calling of a snap election was not a knee-jerk reaction from Pedro Sánchez but a carefully thought-out manoeuvre, Guy Hedgecoe reports from Madrid.
What the coverage shows
All four outlets cover Pedro Sanchez’s snap election announcement, but they frame it differently. Sky News is the barest, saying only that he has called a snap election for next month. Al Jazeera is the only one to mention parliament rejecting housing relief measures, France 24 foregrounds the housing crisis and polling pressure, and The Independent alone mentions mass protests.
