I really LOVE Spain. I'm saying that before I make my next comment. I remember Spain (about 30 years ago) used to be in the top 4-5 richest/wealthiest countries in the world before Spain joined the Euro. I think it's very sad that Spain isn't even in the top 15 richest countries in the world now. The Spanish should be proud of their amazing country and history and people who live there. It seems the EU/Euro has been designed to filter wealth, power, industry and well paid jobs to Germany and Spanish businesses into German ownership. Unfortunately the open door policy to migration effects everything including lower paid jobs. The change over to the Euro decimated the Spanish economy overnight and it has never recovered since. Germany imports almost 1 Billion in cheap goods from China every single day of the year. Then Germany floods the EU with those cheap Chinese imports which has destroyed every industry in every town and city across the EU. Germany profits in both ways. Goods that compete with German manufactured goods are hit with tariffs which Germany collects and at the same time removing all the competition from else where in Europe. Obviously it's not just Spain that has been effected because countries like France and Italy etc who had many regional manufacturing specialities have been destroyed in the same way by the EU/Euro.
