MADRID — Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero on Friday announced early general elections, scheduling the race four months earlier than anticipated to give his Socialist Party a better chance to stay in power amid growing outrage over the nation’s economic woes.
Zapatero set the election date for Nov. 20 even though he was not required to call elections until March and had resisted repeated calls by the conservative opposition for early polling.
