Taking a weekend to think about calling elections and then not doing it is only sustainable if you present some sort of credible plan for the final months. I think Pedro will go for it.

My crystal ball says some or all of ABC, El Mundo and La Razón will soon have opinion polls showing the PP close to an overall majority without Vox.

I'm trying to guess who the chosen candidate for the new (but not really) coalition formerly known as Sumar might be?

Obviously the candidate will need to be chosen at great speed so the best thing is that 3-4 people do it on behalf of the 'membership'

Another factor for Sánchez to take into account is that his coalition partners aren't even close to ready for an election. Plus ça change on that one too.

It's not just that the PSOE have gained nothing from relying on Junts for a majority, the reality is that Junts have also gained nothing from sabotaging that majority. They think they will do better with PPVox in power.

Those who are so loud and indignant on behalf of poorly paid workers when pensioners get a rise in line with inflation quickly go missing when the question of those same workers having affordable accommodation becomes the issue.
