  "summary": "Spain's progressive government is under pressure to address the country's housing cost crisis following public outrage over the eviction of an 87-year-old woman. The issue has sparked protests across the nation.\n\nThe government's efforts to tackle the crisis have been met with resistance in parliament, where it lacks a majority. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's minority government, a coalition of his Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and the left-wing Sumar alliance, has struggled to pass legislation since the conservative Catalan separatist party Junts per Catalunya switched to the opposition nearly a year ago.\n\nSánchez has called a snap election for November 29, citing the need for a \"much broader majority in parliament\" to continue his work. He argued that Spain must decide whether it wants to \"join the far-right wave or remain a bastion of social justice.\" The decision carries high risk for Sánchez, according to the Qatar Tribune.",
