Spanish left-wing chaos dampens Sánchez’s hopes of election miracle
MADRID — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s chances of staging a poll-defying election comeback have suffered a serious dent. Spain’s notoriously fragmented far left has failed to unite on a single ticket ahead of November’s election, which many Sánchez supporters had hoped would mobilize voters, capitalize on the country’s electoral system and increase the prime minister’s hopes of forming a new government.
Catalonia's former rebel president can return to Spain, court rules
Spain's Supreme Court has ruled the former president of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, can return without fear of arrest nearly a decade after going into self-imposed exile having led a failed independence bid. The court upheld a decision to lift an arrest warrant for him linked to the referendum his regional government organised in 2017, in defiance of Madrid.
Spain’s far left fails to unite ahead of November vote
MADRID – Parties on Spain’s far left have failed to reach an agreement to run on a joint ticket in the November 29 election, in a setback to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who would need their support to form a new governing majority. The Frente Amplio (or Broad Front), an alliance of several parties to the left of Sánchez’s Socialist Party, had hoped to recruit Podemos, which was a junior partner in government from 2020 to 2023.
Spanish royals make rare visit to Ceuta after migrant crisis
King Felipe VI has begun a visit to Ceuta as the Spanish exclave continues to grapple with a migrant crisis triggered by an influx of around 70,000 people from Morocco in July.

Protesters blame 'vulture funds' for Spain's housing crisis
Pierina Nicuray, a 21-year-old university graduate, has spent a week camped out in Madrid's Puerta del Sol square. Like many of the hundreds of others who have pitched their tents here to protest at Spain's housing crisis, she has no doubts when it comes to diagnosing the cause. "It's the same problem as always," she says.
Far-right Vox sees election as its big chance to reshape Spain
MADRID — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has finally done something the far right approves of — calling a snap election on Nov. 29 that the anti-immigrant Vox party is hailing as “Spain’s last chance to be Spain again.” Polling third in the race, Vox is Spain’s leading nationalist, euroskeptic force and it sees next month’s contest as its prime opportunity to remold the country after eight years of Sánchez’s socialist premiership by getting its people into top ministerial jobs.

Spain PM pins hopes on housing crisis to help win snap election
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's decision to call a snap election for 29 November came on the back of a parliamentary defeat. On Friday, the raft of measures he had presented to congress aimed at improving conditions for tenants and trying to address the problem of soaring rentals was narrowly rejected, as parties on the right voted against them. That parliamentary result confirmed that Sánchez's left-wing coalition no longer commanded a majority.

Dramatic eviction of woman aged 87 highlights Spain's housing shortage
The dramatic eviction of an 87-year-old woman from the home in Madrid where she lived for seven decades has drawn attention to the depth of Spain's housing crisis.

Spain battles climate change on several fronts
In a small green meadow in the Gredos mountains, west of Madrid, a couple of dozen cows belonging to Juan Ángel Izquierdo and his family are grazing. The only noise is the gentle clang of the bells around the animals' necks. This would be an idyllic scene were it not for the blackened pine and oak trees all around, the legacy of a devastating recent wildfire. "It was immense, I've never seen anything like it," says Izquierdo, whose family have been farming here for 200 years.

Na początku tygodnia, podczas starannie wyreżyserowanej ceremonii religijnej w pałacu królewskim w Rabacie, w obecności króla Mohammeda VI, marokański minister do spraw islamskich Ahmed Toufiq opisał imama z XV w. jako symbol dla Marokańczyków "wyzwolenia okupowanych miast".

How soccer eclipsed separatist politics in Spain
MADRID — The last time Spain reached the final of the World Cup it had a team heavy with players from the region of Catalonia, where the all-conquering FC Barcelona had refined a possession-based attacking style that laid the template for the entire country's soccer identity. Barcelona stars Xavi Hernández, Carles Puyol, Gerard Piqué and Sergio Busquets — Catalans, all — were key players in the side that defeated the Netherlands in the 2010 final in Johannesburg.

World Cup 2026, Jul 14, 2026
|
DALLAS, Texas â The World Cup was supposed to be Dallasâs moment to shine. The city is famously image-conscious, and the powers-that-be trumpeted the fact that more Cup matches were scheduled here than any other host city. It seemed like a coup for a town whose football team (the other kind of football) bills itself as âAmericaâs team.â But off the pitch, Dallas leaders have spent the spring and summer fighting a series of political fights, many of them centered around sports.
