How did the Spanish government respond to criticism of its labor reforms, and what broader economic and political factors influenced the outcome?

Spain's experience demonstrates that strengthening worker rights, including union power and protections against unfair dismissal, doesn't necessarily lead to higher unemployment. The success of the Spanish model challenges the neoliberal argument that deregulation and reduced labor protections create more jobs. Spain's economic growth of 3.2% in 2024, the strongest in the eurozone, further supports this claim.
