Abstract
The answer to the question posed by the title of this paper is not trivial, forcing us to research and assess a series of aspects closely related to the subject in great detail. This study uses an analytical methodology to approach the question posed, taking as a starting point a search for the word «poor» in laws passed by the Spanish government. In the light of these results, it conducts a detailed observation of the official indicators to measure the poverty threshold in Spain, leading inevitably to also observing similar indicators in the autonomous regions, all with the final intention of comparing them with those set by the European Union in the document «Europe 2020». The paper's approach then leads it to study the applicability of the European Union poverty threshold in Spain, by virtue of Spain's ratification of the European Social Charter. This threshold can be determined through the last check on compliance by Spain with article 4 of the said charter, in 2010. Finally, it concludes with the actions taken by the Spanish government in connection with workers who only earn the minimum wage in Spain, considering whether these measures have been effective or simply cosmetic, and whether they have had the impact the situation required in view of the analysis conducted in this paper.
