• The absence of solid public policies for youth represents a double social and territorial burden that denies equal opportunities.
• There is a growing problem of human capital drain in several autonomous communities due to the youth exodus to big cities for studies or jobs.
• The Active Population Survey shows a high rate of non-completion of secondary education in Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, Ceuta and Melilla.
• Blaming the Community of Madrid for the talent drain is simplistic and inactive.
• Institutional decentralization has enabled the improvement of public services.
• The fiscal sovereignty for Catalonia proposed by the PSOE to the ERC can cause a break in interterritorial solidarity.
• While Spain remains the country with the highest youth unemployment in the EU, fighting against inequality requires action, not words.

Conclusion: A major country-wide pact between generations that secures an inclusive future is crucial. Moreover, improving housing access and purchasing power for young people, along with efforts to reduce unemployment, is essential.
