Europe Today: Sánchez calls snap election in Spain as French students protest again

Pedro Sánchez is gambling on a snap election on 29 November, after Congress rejected his housing decrees and tens of thousands protested. In France, students take to the streets again over overcrowded classes and teacher shortages, while MEPs debate Europe's housing crisis and AI deepfakes. On today's show: Our Europe Editor, Maria Tadeo, breaks down why Sánchez has called a snap election for 29 November. The vote comes amid growing anger over soaring rents and housing costs, and ongoing scrutiny over the crisis in Ceuta. Javier Carbonell, Deputy Director of the Future Policy Lab at the European Policy Centre in Brussels, analyses how Spain's snap election will affect EU affairs. Sorcha Edwards, Secretary General of Housing Europe, joins us ahead of a European Parliament debate today, where MEPs will look at how house prices have risen by more than 60% in the past decade, putting growing pressure on households across Europe. Our Paris correspondent, Estelle Nilsson-Julien, reports on the school protests in France, as students gear up for another major day on the streets, calling for better conditions, more teachers and more resources.
