But they can only have one car for their household.
I bet they didn't have to spend over an hour at passport control!
Stan The ManThe answer is because Spain is welcoming them. Why wouldn’t they come? Better public services, amenities, opportunities. All at the expense of tax payers. This government thinks this is the solution to high unemployment / low birth rates. Foolish. This will suppress wages for residents and make things worse. It may benefit some industries that rely on dirt cheap labor. That’s the only angle I can see why they’re being accepted in the first place.
Why are these people coming to Mallorca etc.? Where are they being accommodated.? Are they then moved to mainland? Or are they sent back? Are Hotels housing them , as is done in the UK?. Why is there no deterrant to stop their arrivals?
