Marc Vidal Explains Why Romanians and Bulgarians Are Leaving Spain
Around 2. 5 million Europeans live in Spain, but a notable portion, especially Romanians and Bulgarians, are leaving.
Vidal points out that INE data shows Romanian residents fell from 900,000 in 2012 to 609,000 in 2025, with Bulgarians showing a similar decline. The exodus is driven by better wages and living standards in other EU nations.
This shift could influence Spain’s labor market and sports investment strategies.
