Spain to hold snap elections on April 28
SPAIN will hold snap elections on April 28, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of the Socialist Party (PSOE) said today.
The announcement follows the defeat of the government’s budget on Wednesday. Mr Sanchez’s minority government rested on support from Basque and Catalan separatists.
The Catalan Republican Left and Catalan European Democratic Party abandoned the government in the budget vote after the PSOE said it was not prepared to discuss self-determination for the region.
