I remember just a couple of weeks ago a tweet from Forbes Spain saying unemployment in Spain was going down (https://twitter.com/Forbes_es/status/1486640126071480320). It felt outrageous as Spain currently has the highest unemployment rate in the European Union (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1115276/unemployment-in-...). We are currently living under a totalitarian government and it saddened me that Forbes was yet another media paid by our totalitarian government covering their shit. I don´t know why, but for some reason Forbes was in my mind as an economic-freedom newspaper like. But as the title says, it´s just another platform for for scams, grift, and bad journalism as the other media payed y the government like El País.

The tweet isn't wrong in that Spain's unemployment rate has indeed been lower in the fourth quarter of 2021 than in a long time. [0] I'd be curious to understand why you would call the current spanish government totalitarian, they seem to be overall rather moderate, and won a solid majority in the last parliamentary elections.

Especially considering Spain has some experience with literal dictatorship.

Probably because it's not the specific party they want in power.
