AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Housing Crisis & Snap Election: Spain’s government has approved 21 urgent housing measures after violent protests in Barcelona, with the package tied to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s snap election on Nov. 29—highlighting eviction protections, limits on speculative buying, changes for tourist rentals, and a new €10bn “Tu Casa” scheme for interest-free loans up to €50,000 for first homes, though the decrees still face parliamentary steps. Catalonia Politics: Spain’s Supreme Court lifted the arrest warrant for exiled Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont, clearing the way for his return ahead of the election after the Constitutional Court backed extending parts of the 2024 amnesty. Energy Costs: Electricity on Spain’s regulated tariff is back above €200 per MWh, with daily swings and renewed pressure on household bills. Football (Nations League): Spain travel to Croatia in Split aiming to qualify for the quarter-finals, with Luis de la Fuente recalling key players for the clash after a perfect group run. Sport & Culture: Queen Letizia dazzled at a Finland state banquet; Shakira surprised fans in Madrid by bringing out Dua Lipa onstage.
