The chair of Sánchez's Socialist Party (PSOE) Cristina Narbona and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez during a meeting earlier on Monday Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's decision to call a snap election for 29 November came on the back of a parliamentary defeat.
桑切斯社会党(PSOE)主席克里斯蒂娜·纳博纳和总理佩德罗·桑切斯在周一早些时候的一次会议上 西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯在议会失败后决定于 11 月 29 日提前举行大选。
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.
周五,他向国会提出了一系列旨在改善租户条件并试图解决租金飙升问题的措施,但由于右翼政党投了反对票,以微弱优势被否决。
That parliamentary result confirmed that Sánchez's left-wing coalition no longer commanded a majority.
议会结果证实桑切斯的左翼联盟不再占多数。
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.
但正如桑切斯整个职业生涯中经常发生的情况一样,选举的召唤并不是下意识的反应,而是经过深思熟虑的策略。
His government has been struggling in recent months.
近几个月来,他的政府一直在苦苦挣扎。
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.
他所在的社会党深陷腐败泥潭,案件涉及该党前高级官员桑托斯·塞尔丹和何塞·路易斯·阿巴洛斯,而前社会党总理何塞·路易斯·罗德里格斯·萨帕特罗则面临着从政府对一家航空公司的救助中获取经济利益的指控。
Zapatero has denied wrongdoing. In addition, Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez, is due to go on trial over allegations of misuse of funds and influence peddling - accusations that Gómez and Sánchez vehemently deny.
萨帕特罗否认有不当行为。 此外,桑切斯的妻子贝戈尼亚·戈麦斯将因滥用资金和兜售影响力的指控而接受审判——戈麦斯和桑切斯强烈否认这些指控。
Meanwhile, Sánchez's administration has struggled to manage the crisis in the Spanish exclave of Ceuta in North Africa, where more than 70,000 migrants suddenly arrived in July.
与此同时,桑切斯政府一直在努力应对北非西班牙飞地休达的危机,7月份有超过7万名移民突然抵达该地。
Most have returned over the border to Morocco, but the city has become a political and logistical headache for the prime minister. Thousands have protested in cities across Spain against the government's handling of the influx of migrants to Ceuta Although Sánchez had insisted until recently that he would see out the legislature and not call elections until next summer, his government had looked increasingly unlikely to make it that far.
大多数人已经越境返回摩洛哥,但这座城市已成为总理头疼的政治和后勤问题。 西班牙各地城市数千人抗议政府处理移民涌入休达的方式 尽管桑切斯直到最近还坚称他会监督立法机构,并在明年夏天之前举行选举,但他的政府看起来越来越不可能做到这一点。
The wave of outrage which has exploded in recent days over housing has provided him with the ideal reason to call elections early - and a welcome issue away from Ceuta and the allegations of corruption.
最近几天因住房问题爆发的愤怒浪潮为他提供了提前举行选举的理想理由,并且是一个远离休达和腐败指控的受欢迎问题。
Appealing to his own party's voters and those further to the left on Monday, he called for voters to "mobilise and ensure that parliament gives us a much bigger, progressive majority with which to defeat the elites, conquer social rights and keep transforming Spain".
周一,他向本党选民和更左翼的选民发出呼吁,呼吁选民“动员起来,确保议会为我们提供更多、进步的多数,以击败精英、争取社会权利并继续改造西班牙”。
On the upcoming campaign trail, Sánchez can point to the fact that his adversaries on the right - such as the conservative People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox - voted against his government's housing measures, which sought to prevent the eviction of tenants, improving the conditions of their contracts and preventing investors from buying residential property.
在即将到来的竞选活动中,桑切斯可以指出这样一个事实:他的右翼对手——例如保守的人民党(PP)和极右翼的Vox——投票反对他的政府的住房措施,这些措施旨在防止租户被驱逐、改善他们的合同条件并阻止投资者购买住宅物业。
About 50 marches calling for greater protections for tenants took place in Spain on Saturday, in cities including Madrid - pictured here - Valencia and Barcelona The PP and Vox tend to oppose any initiative presented by the Sánchez government, which they have long cast as illegitimate due to its scandals and reliance on Catalan and Basque nationalists.
周六,西班牙举行了约 50 场游行,呼吁加强对租户的保护,包括马德里在内的城市(如图所示)、巴伦西亚和巴塞罗那 人民党和 Vox 倾向于反对桑切斯政府提出的任何倡议,由于桑切斯政府的丑闻以及对加泰罗尼亚和巴斯克民族主义者的依赖,他们长期以来一直认为桑切斯政府是非法的。
However, as a matter of policy, parties on the right tend to oppose the kind of direct intervention in the housing market that Sánchez has been advocating, warning that it can be counterproductive.
然而,作为政策问题,右翼政党倾向于反对桑切斯一直主张的对房地产市场的直接干预,并警告说这可能会适得其反。
Earlier this year, when Sánchez's international profile rose due to his outspoken criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza and his clashes with US President Donald Trump, there was speculation that he might have used the political capital that gave him on the left and called an early election back then.
今年早些时候,当桑切斯因直言不讳地批评以色列在加沙的行动以及与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的冲突而提高国际知名度时,有人猜测他可能利用了当时给他带来的左翼政治资本并呼吁提前大选。
However, the housing issue, which is the biggest concern for Spaniards according to polls, appears more likely to mobilise support on the left.
然而,民意调查显示,西班牙人最关心的住房问题似乎更有可能得到左翼人士的支持。
Yet polls also show that the Socialists are trailing the PP.
然而民意调查还显示,社会党落后于人民党。
While the housing issue provides Sánchez with a potential fillip on the campaign trail, staying in power after these elections will be probably the biggest challenge of his career.
虽然住房问题为桑切斯的竞选活动提供了潜在的动力,但在这些选举后继续掌权可能将是他职业生涯中最大的挑战。
