And in Romania you can live decently if you have a job that you perform well, more and more Romanians support. Among them are citizens returned from the West, from countries such as Spain and Italy.
For example, a Romanian settled for eight years in the Iberian territory says that he thought many times to return to the country, but what keeps him in place is his wife. The woman fears that it will be more difficult for them in Romania. Even in Spain it is no longer “what it used to be”, warns the Romanian who went to honest work abroad.
“I’ve been living here for eight years and I think it’s time to go back home. There were years when I worked hard with my wife, the children grew up, and life in Spain is getting harder and harder. It was never a paradise here, but it seems since the socialists are in power and they put the saddle on the people, it’s getting harder for the common Spaniard. High prices, high taxes, inflation. But the wife is afraid that it will be even more difficult in Romania, although every time I came home and went to the shops I saw that it is more expensive here than in Spain. How much money would we need for a decent living in the country?”, said the Romanian worker, for Adevărul.
On the other hand, there are also Romanians who warn that in Spain, the prices of basic foods are lower than in Romania, recognized as the country with the lowest standard of living in the EU, “arm in arm” with Bulgaria.
“I was in Spain only as a tourist, but I also went into supermarkets and saw that, just like in Italy, they have cheaper food than in Romania. Salaries are clearly higher in Spain than here, so no matter how you take it, I don’t think it’s a good idea to return home. In short, even food is more expensive than in Spain and Italy, think about it”, commented a citizen.

“Of course, Romania is more expensive than Spain, and here everything is unpredictable. Here all the parties pursue their interest, and in our times whether PSD, PNL or USR or AUR will come out, they are all one and the same, some demagogues who don’t care about people at all. It’s poverty Lucie, I think you know it well. Of course, Spain is not a rich country either, but it’s like still…”, added another.
In Romania you can live decently with 4,000 lei, but with certain conditions, claims another citizen.
“In Romania, you can still live reasonably if you have a salary of 700-800 euros, but with one condition. It should not be in Bucharest, Cluj, Brașov or other big cities where prices are high. And not paying rent, owning it. If you have a house here, it’s worth coming back,” said another Romanian.
Others manage to collect higher salaries in Romania than in Spain.
“We have been back home for three years, it is no worse than in Spain. In Spain we get 2,000 euros in construction, here I get 2,500 euros. I work just as much, I earn even better here, so for me it was an advantage,” confessed one netizen.
Another expressed a similar view.
There is as much poverty in Romania and Spain, a citizen concluded.
“There is as much poverty in Spain as in Romania. Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal and Spain are among the poorest countries. If you are not lazy and willing to work, you will live reasonably here”.
More and more Romanians are returning home
According to the data of the National Authority for Child Protection, the number of children with parents working abroad has decreased in recent years. The information is also confirmed by the statistics of the National Bank of Italy, which show that Romanians from the peninsula are sending less and less money to the country.
“In the first years when I went there, the rents were somewhere around 400 euros, 350. They increased, they almost doubled, and so did the interest for buying a home,” said a Romanian who returned from Italy.
“Here we have our home and it was time to return. After 19 years abroad, the dream came true. The children are ready, the house is ready, we had to go back”, commented a Romanian woman who returned home.
