In the meantime, the parties have begun to act in electoral key and to prepare their positions for a possible ballot date.
If Sanchez decides to callelections on 29 November, the royal decree dissolving the Courts and calling for elections should be published on 6 October and presumably announced tomorrow.

They will meet after Congress on Fridayrejected the Spanish government's two housing decrees and held demonstrations calling for solutions to housing access problems.
According to space sources, this is a crucial moment in the legislature and is framed within a political strategy in the face of the new scenario. However, it is not anticipated that Supre will elect his list head this Sunday for the general election.
On Monday there willalso be another face-to-face meeting in Madrid, to which all the parties that make up the parliamentary group are invited, together with the ministers, including Mr Lukashenko and Mr Aragonesista.
In recent weeks, the names of Pablo Bustinduy, Ernest Urtasun and the former mayor of Barcelona Ada Colau have appeared. In addition, according to space sources, some sectors have proposed that Mónica García lead the candidacy for Madrid, despite the fact that Mas is Madrid's candidate for the next autonomous elections.
The PSOE claims to be ready for any scenario
PSN Secretary General Maria Chivite has said that the Socialist Party is ready for "any situation." The Navarre leader has said that the Socialists do not need polls or calculations to establish their position and has called for the mobilization of the progressive electorate.
Chivite has also announced that he will run for re-election on Monday and run for president of Navarre.
PSE-EE Secretary General Eneko Andueza has strongly criticized the actions of the PP, Vox, and Junts after the decree was rejected.
EH Bildu asks "why"
EH Bildu's Secretary General, Arnaldo Otegi, has stated that it is not a question of when a general election will take place, but of "what for", and has argued that the sovereign left has proposals to address social problems and current challenges.
Otegi has also claimed the defence of the Basque people against a possible electoral scenario.
Feijóo calls for an election
PP President Alberto Núñez Feijóo has said that he is asking Sánchez "not to hesitate" and to call elections. Feijóo has stated that Spain "has the right to decide" and that his request "is not about revanchism", but that the country "can no longer".
The PP leader has also pointed out that housing is one of the main problems of the Spanish Government and has ensured that, if it reaches Moncloa, it will accept the proposal on this matter in the first month of its possible term.
Junts calls for correction and ERC calls for consensus
Junts "Secretary General Jordi Turull has stated that the Spanish Government is still in time to rectify and has been willing to negotiate, while warning that an election call could lead political debate into the realm of" demagoguery "and" polarization. "
For her part, ERC Secretary General Elisenda Alamany has urged Sanchez to take advantage of the legislature to push for "consensus" and avoid "media shows."
Alamany has reproached the PSOE for trying in eight days to push through measures that it has not wanted to push forward for years and has accused Junts of being "totally disconnected" from social reality.
