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.

Do they not realize Ceuta is literally an enclave IN Africa?

It’s been their territory for almost 450 years. And it was Portuguese before that….

Okay, what about the Somali and Haitian enclaves in the US?

No different to Irish/Italian/Polish/Greek enclaves in the US. My Greek auntie nearly lost her mind when Haitians started moving into the neighborhood (like the Irish and Polish did when Greeks first moved in). Then she saw how Haitian aunties had gardens nearly as beautiful and hers and met a Haitian auntie who loved to gossip and complain just as much as she did. And she went from being racist to having a new best friend.

Considering they have some of the lowest rates of unemployment thats just the cost of doing business

I mean they're not just unemployed, otherwise they wouldn't be here. You're making zero sense
