Spanish police dismantle Madrid housing protest camp ahead of snap election

Spanish police have dismantled a large protest camp in Madrid's Puerta del Sol square. The camp, which had been in place for over a month, was a focal point for protests against Spain's housing crisis. The sudden removal of the camp comes ahead of a snap election in Spain, which is likely to be influenced by the ongoing housing crisis and its impact on the country's economy and politics. This development may have implications for the upcoming election and the future of Spain's housing policies.
