Spain PM pins hopes on housing crisis to help win snap election
But as has so often been the case throughout Sánchez's career, the calling of the election was not a knee-jerk reaction but a carefully thought-out manouevre.His government has been struggling in recent months. His Socialist Party has been mired in corruption, with cases implicating former senior figures in the party, Santos Cerdán and José Luis Ábalos, while the former Socialist Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, is facing accusations of having benefited financially from the government's bailout of an airline. However, the housing issue, which is the biggest concern for Spaniards according to polls, appears more likely to mobilise support on the left.Yet polls also show that the Socialists are trailing the PP.
