PP, Vox and Junts attack Sánchez’s record as Spain heads for November election

The People's Party (PP), far-right Vox, and Catalan pro-independence Junts per Catalunya (JxCat) have all criticized Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in response to the announcement of Spain's general election on 29 November. Each party has accused Sánchez of seeking a way out of the parliamentary deadlock and controversy surrounding his government.

JxCat parliamentary spokesperson Míriam Nogueras accused the prime minister of exploiting public distress over housing for electoral advantage.
