The call for elections comes just two days after the Spanish parliament rejected a draft 2019 budget proposed by the government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
"Between doing nothing and continuing without the budget and calling on Spaniards to have their say, I choose the second. Spain needs to keep advancing, progressing with tolerance, respect, moderation and common sense", Sanchez stated in an address to the nation. "I have proposed to dissolve parliament and call elections for April 28th".

The Grand Solar Minimum is threatening Spanish food production. Brits depend on them for vegetables. April 28th should be planting time.
