What do you think of the future for young people like you in Spain?

The current economic crisis in Spain is widespread, but it may subside in the coming years. However, if the crisis persists, young people could face challenging conditions due to potential disruptions in their education. This situation might compel many to leave the country in search of better opportunities.

Conversely, if the crisis resolves, life in Spain is likely to improve with increased funding, job creation, and reduced unemployment. This would result in a more populated and thriving nation.

In conclusion, I hope that young people will have access to work or education with government support, and that the crisis will end as soon as possible.

Parties do not necessarily select the best, but the most disciplined, those who identify more with partisan ideologies and those who criticize less. This phenomenon of co-option of selecting interests creates a bureaucracy within parties, leading to oligarchization. It is consistent with the interests of party professionals who are paid by work.
  2. Organization and conduct of elections - Political parties organize the elections and we elect representatives submitted by the parties. The
