Why ‘Trump regime refugees’ are falling in love with Madrid

American citizens are racing to put their roots in Madrid, as the capital of Europe has become the most fresh refuge for “refugees in the Trump regime” who seek to escape from the American president.

A flow has already been fed through the division of wealth in the United States and a remote work since the Covid-19 pandem Donald TrumpChapter Two.

Federico Gonzalez, founder of GS Legal Consulting, who made works of advice to Americans to move to the move to move to move to move to move to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition The transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition to the transition The transition to the transition to the transition to the level of attention is that the level of attention is that the level of interest is the level of interest was Spain. “I can hardly continue.”

The wave of expatriates is the latest sign that Madrid, which has long been spent in its value abroad, has what its leaders call a “moment” – where strangers are lured with its art, Good foodElegance and superior sunlight.

The cost of living is also a small part of other major cities, including London and Paris. Americans who have salaries or savings of the United States are August to find 55 cents Croissant in Mercadona supermarket and good wine glasses for only 3 euros.

For González, American customer inquiries started to rise in 2023. When Trump got the Republican presidential nomination last March, the height turned into an increase. People were very worried. And now a lot of them here in Spain. They started reaching. “

By mid-2014, the number of Americans living in the Madrid region has already reached approximately 10,000 by an increase of 35 percent over mid-2018 despite the decline in the epidemic, according to the Ministry of Deportation data. Since then, requests for accumulation have continued, especially for “Bedouin Bedouin Bedouin” visas.

Facebook forums that include “Refugees in Trump System” top the transportation tips. Madrid’s American School reports from California, Colorado and Florida. In an angry city of Padel, the Americans meet together to play Picklebaall, an unknown sport of most known for most Spaniards.

Sunni, an American American, moved to Madrid from Atlanta with her husband and two children in 2023, a transfer that took a new meaning after Trump’s victory in the elections. She said, “It was just a whim, and she relied on the current political climate. It was a very good bleeding.” “At this stage, I do not want to return to the United States. What is going on there gives me a lot of anxiety, especially as a colorful family. Especially as a woman.”

Selena Templeton, a Canadian -American writer and editor, arrived from Los Angeles last summer and became a role model for friends who suffer from a return home. They say: Trump was elected. It is a shy show in this country. I want to leave. How did you do that? “

Knowing Spain, however, is still incomplete. Trump himself suggested last month that he was a member of the Brics Group for Emerging Economies.

“Out of this coastal coastal bubble, there are still many awards from the Mexican culture that is expected to be on Spanish culture. I always get questions like: Is the Spanish food hot?

For many years, if Spain brought any city to mind, Barcelona was. But the anti -tourism protests there last year extinguished many bulldozers. For those who are eager to learn or polish Spanish, the prevalence of Catalan in the regional capital in Catalonia against it as well.

The new magnet is Madrid, whose area includes the capital, home to nearly 7 million. Last year, thanks to more flight and marketing contacts by the regional government, more than 1 million American visitors came to the city – twice the number of British expatriates.

The new residents say they cherish how Madrid combines the uproar of the big city with a feeling of inflammation. They enjoy the ability to walk, architecture, and the absence of active shooter training in their children’s schools. They love Spaniards because they are warm and friendly, but not, as someone said, “in your work.”

There is even a Hollywood group: Richard Gere and Amber Hurd made the city their home.

For potential migrants, a new path has been opened with a digital Bedouin visa, which provides accommodation for other European Union citizens who work from home to obtain a non -Spanish entity. They also need an annual income of at least 33,000 euros.

In 2023, the first year of the visa, Spain issued more than 9,500 people from a group of countries. Many were for the West Coast software engineers, but they also went to US government contractors, accountants and people such as Scheck, which is also a diet on social media.

He said that he is considering the events in the homeland, “It is certain that it is comfortable to be removed a little from the highest daily levels and declines.”

Kay Bryant, President of BluePrint Spain, a transportation agency, said he is conducting inquiries from Americans near the end of their working life who were concerned about Medicare and their pensions. “They say: I am not comfortable with retirement in the United States. What are my options?” He said. “Some are somewhat misleading and asks whether they can apply for asylum. But it only shows despair.”

Alina Lisina, Aston President, a consultant to immigration, said that the golden visa program in Spain, which is available to anyone investing 500,000 euros in property, was popular with Americans approaching retirement. But in April, he will approach new applicants.

The arrival of the United States has no fortunes The Latin American elite moves to Madrid. But there is a daily richness in parts of the United States that become dilapidated when transported to Spain.

The average annual salary in the Madrid region is about 32,000 euros. Gonzalez, the lawyer, said his clients generally earn between $ 120,000 and $ 200,000. Those who sell assets purchased 10 or 20 years ago, whether they are California, Amazon or NVIDIA shares, with millions of bank.

But every new country brings its challenges. Americans marvel at the late meal times in Madrid and strict opinions about what should be consumed when. “I love alcohol here, but if I ask for that when it’s not before dinner, I get these looks,” Timbelton said.

Some also miss the amenities and modernity at home. He told me: “When we came here for the first time, I felt that I came from the future.” “In the future we have platforms to cancel our door insurance, instead of these keys that look like a castle.”
