The First Vice President of the Government, Antoni Costa, assessed this Friday the possibility of an early election in Madrid if the royal housing decrees fail in Congress. "I hope and wish that Pedro Sánchez calls them, not because we are asking for it today, but because they should have been called a long time ago," he asserted in a press conference following the Government Council meeting. However, he rejected that this would imply an early election in the Balearic Islands.
