I don't know where are you getting this from. The have better GDP forecast than Germany for example and one of the lowest inflation in EU. Part of this is thanks to lower energy prices achieved thanks to policies that are now copied by other countries. And the current government did pretty good in elections just couple weeks ago so I don't think people feel overtaxed. Biased much?

The unemployment rate is horrendous, at 13.3% in the first quarter of 2023. In comparison, Germany was at around 5.5%, the UK at about 3.8%, and the US at around 3.5%.

Edit: And when you scope that to youth unemployment, the rate in Spain is nearly 30%. I won't pretend to know enough about Spanish economic policy to speculate on causes, but things are not exactly going well.

Okay?

I'm genuinely not understanding your point. That website shows 13.01% unemployment it 2022, and 28.34% for youth. These are very high.

So you misses the point if this entire discussion.

I'll maintain that the Spanish economy is not exactly a good example of economic prosperity, and thank you for providing additional data that exactly shows that point. Cheers.

And I never said it is which proves, again, that you didn't understand anything that was said here. Cheers.
