Average monthly pretax salary in Madrid: 2 575.46 EUR (source in es_ES: https://www.abc.es/espana/madrid/evolucionado-salario-medio-...)
Also, a shared apartment costs as much as you say. Not a room (source: idealista.es).
Purchase prices are high, but I'm curious as to what you consider a bad neighborhood, given the overall safety statistics in Spain, and Madrid in particular.
Housing affordability is a real problem, but misrepresenting data is counterproductive, as it can be easily disproven.

Spain's energy policy could easily be improved, but saying that Spain's economy isn't doing well is disingenuous. In terms of GDP, it's one of the countries with the fastest growth in the EU [1].
Also, our economy is becoming more diversified, precisely thanks to lower energy prices that attract industries that previously gravitated towards Germany and Eastern Europe. [2]
I'm curious about how politics have hurt tourism industry, though, if you could elaborate.

This is amazing. I have a couple of suggestions:
- Maybe breaking the "Spain" folder into subfolders? Not sure what categories could be used, but browsing would be easier.
- There's a missed opportunity in having different authors for the commits (maybe the "legislatura" number), and possibly, tags/labels including the political parties that voted in favor of each.
I'll take a look at data to enrich it :).
At least in Europe, much of the current expansion is fueled by the parallel rise of PV solar installs in households (even without subsidies, both combined result in cheaper heating than gas).
