Confirmed

In Spain, real wages have been stagnant since 1994 (thirty years)

Omissions

• The data shows a small positive growth of 2.76% rather than absolute zero growth; the stagnation characterization is substantively accurate but technically represents minimal rather than zero growth
• Spain's performance is the fourth worst among the 38 OECD countries for this period
• The MEP made this claim on February 11, 2026, and could have known this data as it covers the period 1994-2024
• The claim's reference to 'thirty years of Popular and Socialist governments' is a political interpretation not verifiable by economic data alone
