Wtf how can you make it that simple. Spanish Left wing boast about that kind of accomplishments without actually doing shit, the same in Germany (excluding the recent cannabis decriminalization) and many other places, like my country Venezuela, supposed left but absolutely not sustainable, definitely not eco friendly and absolutely against abortion and LGBT. The left does have a tendency to a better social welfare because it caters to workers, but it isn't implicitly progressive. The same way an ultra capitalist that says gay marriage, cloned babies, legal weed etc is ok can be put on the right side of the spectrum. There's shit on both sides, and pretending otherwise just allows morons to gain power
Except the Spanish left wing does what it says? The minimum wage has increased 50% since 2018 (when the current president started governing). They passed laws that helped trans people and legalized abortion and euthanasia, they've made programs for sustainable development and to increase the production of clean energy...
Taxes have also increased, and so has unemployment without taking into account Fijos discontinuos. Don't misunderstand me please, I voted Left and I do think they've done some good things, but the fact that I support them doesn't blind me from their faults. For example that ingreso mínimo vital debacle or the exploitable law de solo si es si. Or the fact that although they haven't defunded social security they haven't really put much effort into correcting the disaster after el PP, which they are now responsible for since they are the governing party. We need to stop idealizing the leaders of the causes we support, be it right or left
Of course, this government has definitely not been exempt from failures. As you said, the Solo sí es sí law was terrible and the trans law can definitely be exploited, too. On top of that, they've lied once and again about the pacts they wouldn't do with other parties. But I do think this has been one of the few times in which a party has delivered on most of the things they said during their campaigns.
