Spanish prime minister calls early general election after battering in regional vote

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced the dissolution of parliament and an early general election on July 23 following the results of Sunday's local elections.
The ruling Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and its junior ally Podemos lost ground during the regional elections, while the conservative People's Party and far-right party Vox outperformed.
Sanchez said the election results conveyed a message beyond the local and regional scope, and as both prime minister and PSOE's secretary-general, he personally assumes the results and believes it necessary to give an answer.
