Madrid, Spain – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has a well-forged reputation as an audacious political survivor and risk taker. But perhaps even he has bitten off more than he can chew by calling snap general elections for July 23.
Sánchez surprised rivals and allies alike by bringing forward the national vote, rather than letting the government run to its full term in November, following his party’s severe losses in the regional and local elections in May.
