The parties have begun to define their position on a possible electoral advance

The Spanish Government did not get enough support yesterday to approve the housing decrees , so President Sánchez has given himself room for reflection. He will have to decide whether to call elections or go on. Some of them, such asthe PP, Vox and the PNV themselves, have been calling for early elections, while for others, such as the Confederal Left, the decision could come too quickly because they have not formed an electoral alliance.

In the ranks of the Socialist Party, PSN General Secretary Maria Chivite said that if there were an early election the PSOE would be "ready." "Our position today is the same as yesterday. We don't need the polls or the calculations." She said that "anger is expressed in the streets, but it is channelled at the polls. That is our responsibility.

ThePSE-EE Secretary General, Eneko Andueza , has hoped that voters will "keep in mind" the "betrayal" committed yesterday by PP, Vox and Junts. In the view of the leader of the Basque socialists, "the moral misery of the right and the far right has no limits," and has criticized the issue of Ayuso's attic: "The right likes that: the president of Madrid buys an attic worth more than six million with everyone's money."

EH Bildu's Secretary General, Arnaldo Otegi , has also focused on the elections. He has stressed that "the issue is not the date (of the Spanish elections), it is the question of what this people wants to take advantage of these elections." He has stressed that the sovereign left has "recipes to face the challenges, social problems and authoritarianism of the time."

More crudely, the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo , has argued that President Pedro Sánchez cannot prolong the situation any longer, and that citizens have the right to have elections "now." He claims that there is no "appetite for revenge" and adds that he cannot "stand any longer."
