Omissions

• The claim does not specify the metric used to define 'poorer' - whether this refers to relative poverty rates, absolute income levels, purchasing power, or risk of poverty/social exclusion
• No specific data source cited by the MEP to support the comparison
• The search results indicate Spain's overall at-risk-of-poverty rate reached a record low of 19.70% in 2024, but this does not provide the 2007 baseline or age-specific data needed to verify the claim
