La campaña está servida a la espera de Sánchez

It is challenging to find any PSOE leader, institutional or otherwise, who claims that Pedro Sánchez should prolong the current legislative term until 2027, as the deadline is rapidly approaching. Until now, everyone had assumed that the announcement of the State Budgets before the end of the year would implicitly imply calling elections in the first quarter of 2027, but the situation began to cloud with the massive departure of Ceuta.

No one could find a favorable date. The first months of the year seemed too early to move away from that crisis; the Sunday with the municipal and autonomous elections was ruled out, and the socialist mayors had always preferred that the general elections be held earlier to avoid contaminating the national debate. The calendar was delicate until Maricarmen Abascal's defeat changed the framework and the defeat of the main decree with housing measures is comparable in political terms to the predictable failure of a set of budgets. The legislative term is definitively sentenced, and the dissolution of the Cortes is justified.
