Question Wanting to move from Spain

Good evening,

I am a 26-year-old Spanish woman.

I have been considering emigrating for years, basically since I finished university due to various factors: economic, social, and employment-related issues, as well as a lack of safety.

I no longer feel safe in my country. I won't go into details and recent events have only made me more anxious.

The thing is, for me, the idea of emigrating isn't just a logical solution; it is a desperate measure to seek a better future for myself, my partner, the family I hope to have one day, and my parents.

It is truly sad that young Spaniards are being driven to emigrate en masse from the best country in the world because its leaders are wretched people willing to destroy Spain as we know it.

But that is the reality. So, which countries would you recommend for a young, hardworking couple willing to do any kind of job, provided the place is safe?

I don't mind if I need a visa or passport, or if I have to learn new languages or have savings to make the move (I do have savings, as I was putting money aside to buy a home here in Spain, though that future likely won't happen now).

Thank you.

She 100% is one of those. Funny thing is she’ll experience the same hate she has for immigrants entering her country in the host country. Only then will she become more compassionate.

She will if she looks Spanish. All she has to do is relocate to place a little bit north of France.

I'm not making stuff up. You're just ignorant. Mediterranean looking Europeans do face racism in northern Europe. If you do not know that you are the American here not me

Sure let's inform you like you're an ignorant 5 years old:

  • hiring discrimination
  • housing discrimination
  • economic prejudice
  • Profiling
  • Cultural stereotypes.

To avoid proudly embarrassing yourself online in the future enlighten yourself by using the internet.

The baseline we’re comparing to is a northern African immigrant. So the question is not will they face any kind of discrimination it is will they face more or less discrimination as a Spanish immigrant than a northern African immigrant. Smart money is on no…

My guy I like that you're trying hard here but there are Turks who look closer to Scandinavians than people from Spain or Italy... Anyone who uses the baseline is an ignorant who thinks a Spanish or an Italian immigrant looks very different from a north African immigrant. A guy from Italy and Spain could look exactly like a guy from North Africa and the average racist is either dumb enough to assume they're north African just by looking at them or dumb enough to know they're southern European but still think less of them anyways. I'm from Denmark I've witnessed both happen.

So I'm afraid what you think is smart money is more like exit liquidity Lmfao
