Abascal’s eviction unleashed waves of demonstrations across Spain, led to the setting up of a protest camp in the centre of the capital, and prompted the socialist-led government to propose emergency measures to try to make the rental market more equitable.(阿巴斯卡尔被驱逐一事在西班牙各地引发了多轮示威，导致首都中心设立抗议营地，并促使社会党领导的政府提出紧急措施，试图让租赁市场更加公平。) When those measures were voted down by rightwing and far-right parties last week, the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, announced a snap general election, to be held on 29 November.(上周，当这些措施被右翼和极右翼政党否决后，首相佩德罗·桑切斯宣布将于11月29日提前举行大选。)
