This episode delves into Spain’s ongoing poverty crisis, where over four million people live on less than €644 a month and one in four citizens remains at risk of poverty. Based on the latest EAPN-ES report, we examine the stark regional divide—especially in Andalusia and Extremadura—and the alarming fact that Spain has the EU’s highest child poverty rate. We also discuss why economic growth isn’t translating into equality and the call for a national pact to strengthen income support, housing, and social cohesion.
