Sánchez's consultations Election decision pending

Oct 1–4

Marc Sala and Pedro Rodríguez report that Pedro Sánchez has spent the weekend reflecting on whether to call an early election or put forward another decree. Rodríguez says he has been speaking to people close to him in the PSOE and government from Thursday through Sunday, but neither his choice nor the announcement time is known. Sánchez retains his Monday schedule, beginning with the family-business congress at 09:30; Feijóo is due to attend later. The report anticipates a possible announcement without establishing an election call.

From Thursday night October 1 through October 2, Sánchez consults his entourage, PSOE figures and government members after learning Junts's position and then losing the housing-decree votes. RTVE says an early election, another decree and other ways to restore measures remain possible. November 29 is explained as the first available Sunday, not a called election. PSOE leaders including García-Page publicly urge a vote; PP and Vox demand one, Bustinduy claims readiness, and ERC and Podemos warn that solutions or a credible left offer matter. The report and studio analysts assess campaign incentives and party preparedness with attribution and uncertainty. No dissolution, election call, chosen Sumar candidate or November result is established. RTVE's October 3 report says Moncloa remains silent and Sánchez has cleared his weekend agenda while weighing an early election after the defeats and demonstrations. It reports a prospective Sunday meeting of Comuns, IU, Más Madrid and Sumar and Mónica García's name being floated, alongside Junts's electoral-interest criticism and further party positions. These remain preparations, speculation and an open decision, without an election call or a chosen candidate. In the October 4 Moncloa dispatch, Pedro Rodríguez says Sánchez has reflected over the weekend and continued speaking with PSOE and government confidants through Sunday. An early election and a new decree remain alternatives; his choice and announcement time are unknown. He retains Monday's agenda, beginning with a family-business congress at 09:30. The reporting range now includes this continuing consultation process through October 4, without an announced election or decided outcome.
