Summary

Youth unemployment in Spain is still very high, with 29.3% of working people under 25 out of work.

Ahead of the snap General Election which will take place on Sunday 23 July, we speak to new voters and voters in their twenties who are just starting out in their careers. What policies appeal to them, how do they feel about an increasing right-wing presence, and what do they think of politicians using social media and podcasts to try and win their support?

We’ll also hear from a young entrepreneur who is looking to see what advantages they can get from a potential change of government.
