- Omissions
- The claim does not specify a reference period; the rate fluctuates between roughly 23% and 25.5% depending on quarter/month and data source (EPA vs Eurostat).
- The most recent data available before the session date (mid-2026) show a rate slightly below 25% (≈23.5–23.8%), so 'one in four' is at the upper end of the observed range.
- Spain's youth unemployment rate is the highest or among the highest in the EU (EU average was around 15% in 2026), a comparative context not mentioned by the speaker.
