NorskSud@lemmy.ptOPto Europe@feddit.de•Time off and a healthy lifestyle are driving some young Americans to Europe: 'You are a person first and a worker 2nd'English3·2 years agoWages in general are much better in the US. But then expenses also tend to be higher, not only health, even the tipping gets crazy expensive. But in the end it’s very personal, what makes you happy? Is it money? Being close to family? Being in your own country? For most people the move would be too troublesome to be worth it, I guess.

NorskSud@lemmy.ptOPto Europe@feddit.de•Time off and a healthy lifestyle are driving some young Americans to Europe: 'You are a person first and a worker 2nd'English5·2 years agoCitizenship is easy to get once you already live in the country, not just Portugal, Luxembourg is probably easier even, the language requirement is a low level of Luxembourgish. Of course for that you first need residency. In Portugal is again easy, as long as you have a job contract, Portugal has probably the most liberal migration laws in the EU right now (yeah, wages are low).
Portugal nationality for non-residents is easy as long as you can prove a family connection, that can be a Portuguese granparent or Portuguese Jewish roots (they can be 5 centuries old, is a compensation for inquisition, but you must be able to prove it, a Portuguese Jewish surname helps).

NorskSud@lemmy.ptto Europe@feddit.de•'They are beaten, bitten by dogs, their money taken away, their phones destroyed': Migrants fight for survival on Polish-Belarusian borderEnglish12·2 years agoSurviving the trip from Middle East was the easy part as Belarussia picks them by plane.
But now you have a new danger that doesn’t allow facilitating the passage, how many of these migrants are former Wagner fighters?
Edit: getting down voted for pointing out the Wagner fighters? Thousands of them that entered Belarus and have an unclear future ahead?
NorskSud@lemmy.ptOPto Europe@feddit.de•Time off and a healthy lifestyle are driving some young Americans to Europe: 'You are a person first and a worker 2nd'English3·2 years agoThat depends a lot of the country. In some EU countries is rather easy and cheap.

NorskSud@lemmy.ptOPto Europe@feddit.de•Time off and a healthy lifestyle are driving some young Americans to Europe: 'You are a person first and a worker 2nd'English2·2 years agoMoving abroad is always challenging and not for everyone, some people can’t adapt to a different way of life.
NorskSud@lemmy.ptto Europe@feddit.de•Why reversing Brexit and rejoining the EU could take a decade and cost the UK an extra £5.6bn a yearEnglish41·2 years agoThe EU has obviously an interest in getting the UK back in some shape. But I would say that nobody is in a hurry right now. The UK needs to sort itself out, decide what it wants and be consequent and solid about it. There are currently many discussions on the shape and reform of the EU and more people defend the idea of different levels of integration available. From a true federation with single currency in its core, to contries with free border, free movement, common market, but own currency and non-federated. That second tier could be ideal for countries like the UK and Ukraine, at least in the foreseable future.
NorskSud@lemmy.ptOPto Europe@feddit.de•Hungary, Austria, Greece added to the Economist’s list of Putin’s ‘useful idiots’ in EuropeEnglish1·2 years agoPersonally I’m glad that at least in some European countries it is NOT a crime to desecrate “holy” things.
NorskSud@lemmy.ptOPto Europe@feddit.de•Hungary, Austria, Greece added to the Economist’s list of Putin’s ‘useful idiots’ in EuropeEnglish0·2 years agoThe motivation might be different but the result is the same, facilitating the Russian regime financial moves.
NorskSud@lemmy.ptOPto Europe@feddit.de•Hungary, Austria, Greece added to the Economist’s list of Putin’s ‘useful idiots’ in EuropeEnglish1·2 years agoThe original article by Economist has a paywall, that’s why I posted that one instead, but here’s the link: https://www.economist.com/europe/2023/07/03/-vladimir-putins-useful-idiots
NorskSud@lemmy.ptOPto Europe@feddit.de•European elections 2024: Parliament proposes more seats for nine EU countriesEnglish1·2 years agothere was a reduction on the total number after brexit, so this is an easy way to reflect demographic changes without reducing representativity to any country
NorskSud@lemmy.ptOPto Europe@feddit.de•Portugal favourite for Tesla “Gigafactory”English01·2 years agoI have not idea if this is reliable, and I do despise Musk, but, considering that Portugal will soon start destroying mountains for lithium it would at least allow the country to benefit a bit from those lithium mines that by themselves won’t bring much.
It’s not just Americans. Can’t we find a European source that describes this is in a complete and EU POV?
