Spain, one of the EU countries with the largest Romanian communities, has lost one-third of its Romanian inhabitants in the last decade, according to data from the Spanish Statistical Institute. Specifically, the Romanian community in Spain has recorded a decrease of approximately 300,000 people over the last decade, from around 900,000 to 600,000. One of the main reasons is the reduction of economic differences between Spain and Romania in recent years. In this context, more and more Romanians chose to return to the country, according to Digi24 .
