Spain: Living in a European Slum | European Journal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 бер 2014
- Cañada Real is the biggest slum in the EU and lies on the outskirts of the Spanish capital Madrid. Tens of thousands of people live in illegally-built huts and shacks.
Many of the residents who have recently moved to the slum are victims of Spain's financial crisis who could no longer afford their rent or mortgage. But the shanty town is a thorn in the eye of local authorities. Nearby communities that own the land want to turn Cañada Real into a recreation area. Bulldozers repeatedly show up to demolish the illegal dwellings. Now work is underway to find a fair and equitable solution.

People assume the slums is full of bad people.
There is good and bad people everywhere rich or poor.
So true
True, but in the slums criminality will naturally be a lot higher. Extreme poverty can turn good people into criminals very fast.
*are
Wish everyone was in this good attitude towards 3rd world countries
Unfortunately the Cañada Real is the drug supermarket of Madrid.
Poverty exist everywhere even in the EU and the USA.
NOPE, THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY THEY ARE...LESS POOR PEOPLE IN USA AND EU COMPARE TO PEOPLE HAVE JOB...
In that population that is shown, in the "Cañada Real", not a single Spaniard lives, they are all illegal immigrants, mostly Romanian gypsies but also a lot Romanian, a lot of Moroccan Maghrebi and some gypsy families
European countries is becoming third world. If you said this slum is somewhere in Latin America I would belives I live 11 years in America. There is nothing like this in American cities. People love to bash america but trailer parks and section 8 housing are not slums.
@@diegoyanesholtz212 then u don't know the slums and poverty ridden places in USA.. US is not a paradise, it also has a huge poverty
Roy we don’t have anything like this
People are surprised there's poverty in Europe? Its always been there. So has corruption. In Spain there are many politicians, former mayors and council leaders in jail for this, and the south has been a haven for organized crime (from the UK, Ireland, Russia, Holland, Eastern Europe) for years. Add to that the economic crisis and a lack of manufacturing industry. Many young Spanish leave to work abroad.
Ultimate Nova Creep you obviously didn’t pay attention in geography then 🤪
@Ultimate Nova Creep never seen the Indian slums before ?
@Ultimate Nova Creep there are slums in every major country and city lol even Sweden and norway have slums
I don't get it. People buy/rent houses near the slum because they were cheaper and now they want the local people out? Who do they think they are?
Spanish
Spanish? What kind of answer is this? I'm from Spain, so what now? Should I agree? I find that ridiculous
People who legally bought their houses and they want the illegals ones out. They are not locals and they shouldn’t be there
European mindset
The houses in this slum are constructed illegally.. they haven’t even been built (and I use that term loosely) correctly and according to building guidelines.
Actually such poverty is common in Roma neighborhoods and villages in Central, Eastern -- and increasingly Western -- Europe.
In Europe I only thought that the Roma population especially from Eastern Europe lives in these situations. But I'm deeply shocked to see that Spanish people in Spain also live in that situation.
StarmanFR The lady they interviewed is Roma, the only different is she speaks Spanish, but now they have Roma people from Romania living in that shanty town.
Alan Nikolai Stratmann No, I have been to Brazil twice, and to Mexico few times, I'm familiar with those favelas/slums. In Spain you don't see that, this is about the only place you can find that sort of thing, and it's mostly populated by foreigners (Romanians, Bulgarians, Gypsies and Muslims). Until a few years ago you would not see people begging on the streets of major cities, now you do. Not enough work for the Spaniards nor the immigrants that moved to the country a few years back when the Spanish economy was booming! If you haven't been to Spain try to go, you'll love the country and the people! I'm not from Spain, but I have been there many times!
Lourdes is probably a gypsy though his name 'De los Santos' is not Romanian but Portuguese her probable origin.
@@StarmanFR yes with romanian gypsies
"Cañada" is a "cattle track" or glen, then "Cañada Real " means "Royal Glen" (a track used for cattle movement until a few years ago in migrations of cattle and merino sheep twice a year between mountains in northern Spain and others that there is in the south). When Romania joined the European Union thousands and thousands of Romanian
gypsies and poor Romanians came to Spain, as well as thousands of
Moroccans and Africans, and as they had no money to rent a house and
even less to buy a house, they made shacks and very rustic houses on the sides of the
"cañada" or cattle track, where criminals began to sell drugs massively, which made
other humble people like many Spanish gypsies and drug addicts settle
down next to the "cañada" to live off the sale of drugs. Logically that place is a mixture of poverty and extreme delinquency (something similar to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro) I do not understand why the son of a ... who publishes this video says that it is the usual level of life of the Spaniards
I live in similar kind of thing in India. I didn't knew poverty exist in western world. Sad to see
Why the media
Yes, it does.
Lourdes moved there LONG before the crisis started, she has been there most of her life! The great majority of those people don't want to work! They want to live rent free and not have to pay any utilities! By the way your commentator said tens of thousands live there, when the social worker actually said ten thousand. Get a better translator please!
I was born and grew up in a neighborhood like this.
Very friendly people there.
Poor people exists in every part of the world.. Rich people must do their part and govt must protect people vulnerable to poverty trap..
If the banks are to control the money they need to take yheir responcibility towards the people! The banking system as we see it today has to GO!
You know who owns all the banks?

The dark side of the EU...
Has nothing to do with the EU, which is an organization.
Amici Nybråten it does,because it was caused by massive unstoppable inmigration from romanian gypsies, which is the EUs fault
nothing to do with immigrants but the corporativism-capitalism system.
It's neither EU's nor Spanish fault... We have thousands of gypsies in Spain, and many of them decided to study, to exit from their ghettoes, and to live with most of their traditions but without bothering and disturbing anybody. But many other spanish gypsies and these romanian gypsies prefer to live that way with the excuse of historial prosecution and discrimination... And, even if they apparently live in poverty in these slums, many of them wear expensive dresses and jewelery, and drive ferraris or masseraties (but, of course, their money is earned in a "honourable" way...) They have lot of aids for public education, they have free public healhtcare, and they could get a legal and decent job if they wanted too, as many, many other gypsies do, but instead of that they prefer to have 7 children, quit them from school when they are teenagers, and introduce them to the world of drugs, oKupation, and so on.
The only thing both Spain and EU (well, EU can't, but it could allow that) can do is to quit them their kids and to force those kids to study and prepare them for a better future... They have all the opportinities and aids, but they prefer to live in their ghettoes... We have nurses, lawyers, singers, teachers, doctors, etc. who lived in those ghettoes and both them and their parents decided to prepare them for a better future and for the integrations, those who don't want, don't deserve more attention.

I guess your referring to Brussels.
We have slums like that a lot in Bulgaria and is where the crime rate and poverty is highest in most cities in Bulgaria. In Bulgaria we call them mahala's
There are similar places in London. Gypsis live in caravans and use any open space to park in there. They have no running water or amnesties.
This is the future of the whole of Europe!
Why can you say that?
@@fatimatunga3917 europe was always the poorest place in the world especially northern europe. Thats why they formed empires which are basically nation gangs to pillage and rob the rest of the world. Without those colonies to subsidize their population, they default back to being overcrowded and poor.
@@Dingish ohhh! And they always say that South America and some country of Asia is a poorest country in thd whole world.What a heck!?
@@fatimatunga3917 don’t forget Africa also. They got gold & oil and a lot of natural resources but there poor
I don't get why they don't want to be resettled tho. Seems to me that part of an resettlement plan is being allocated social housing...
not that bad, love thow their local people want to help them
it is bad when it is summer and you have nothing to cool you down. Eastern Europe have common areas like this. Europe has awful slums. It's not a rich amazing place.
Your friend from 🇮🇩 Indonesia, it is very supportive
The bankers. GANGSTERS
That would be Prime Real Estate if Spain was Expanding Economically
Well Said
basic salary in Spain is 1k euros a month. Rent of 55 sqm flat here is 800 euros.
This is why you have to share the price with your partner ! Same in Toronto price for a house can be 3000 and you salary is just 2500 !
But but but spain is rich,their government help developing poor country in southeast asia..ironic
Oh!
Really?! What country is that?
no its not rich u think so it isnt
@@hunterblake5911 you don't know nothing about South Easth Asia.
USA will be poor soon.
on the road there was an inscription that said: '' drum spre scoala''. that is romanian language. so this is probably a gypsy slum.
Greedy banks and corruption. Also the euro currency
King of Spain living a comfortable life, opposite the poor people who seems never get help from the government.
No hay peor ciego que el que no quiere ver. Crees que el rey te roba? No ves más allá? Pobre ignorante. El rey no se lleva una mínima parte de lo que se llevan la infinita cantidad de políticos y cargos públicos inútiles y sinvergüenzas que tenemos en este país de mierda. Sobran la mitad de parásitos públicos.
Si el dinero de los ciudadanos se quedara en sus bolsillos, que es donde tiene que estar, en lugar de ir a parar a las sucias garras de la clase política para que cada uno se lleve 5000€ cada mes mas sobresueldos por tocarse los huevos a dos manos, otro gallo cantaría.
Paquito pero que dices burro, si el gobierno socialista de los cojones mete ayuditas a todos los drogadictos, borrachos y okupas.
I just found out that there are also slums in Europe😯
All over the world.
Yes... There is a very small one outside my city too
Alguien me puede explicar algo? si europa recibe millones de inmigrantes de otros países como es que éstos no construyen villas miserias o "slums" en esos países como sí pasa en Argentina por ejemplo.
En Argentina el 80% de las personas que viven en villas son inmigrantes de países limítrofes. El 5% de los argentinos viven en barrios de esas características no el común de la población y cada vez es menos gente asi que no opines sin saber. sos el tipico europeo boludo que piensa que América Latina sigue exactamente igual que hace 50 años.
Nunca dije lo contrario. Primero YA SÉ que no tenemos el mismo nivel de vida que España, Italia ...etc. deberíamos tenerlo por mil diferentes motivos pero no lo tenemos. Segundo no todos los países europeos tienen un ingreso per capita de 25000-30000 dolares. No toda Europa es rica o al menos tan rica. En la generalidad América Latina tendrá unos 20 años de atraso económico lo cual es mucho pero te darás cuenta que no estamos tan mal y por otro al igual que en Europa no es lo mismo el nivel de desarrollo entre los países. No es lo mismo Ecuador que Argentina.
And western media says this is only related to Brazil and Latin America, what a joke.
She said "there's 10,000 people here" not tens of thousands of people here '_'
All these are due to civil constraints in the society that led to investments in businesses dryout. Basically, the cash flows stopped, created Costs Crisis, dropped living standards, lacked new investments, deterioration of economic conditions, made pricey to many, ousted many from the Living Spaces.
God, is this Europe??

Wow this is the nicest slum I’ve ever seen
And from above, it doesn't seem that large. Tens of thousands.? How many is that.? And how do this one compares to London's slums.? Anyone ever been to Detroit's, Philadelphia's, Atlanta's, Chicago's slums.? I have. They are truly horrific.!

I can't believe this is exist in Españia.
What are the King Felipe and Queen Sofia doing?
Living like comfortable life and this people living in a slums and hungry.
The king and queen cant do anyting, is the goverment how has to do something but they dont do nothing.
No existe tal país como españia
That's slums for them? That's already a typical low cost subdivision in my country. Lolz
in what country? ukraine
No one will let them stay in over priced apartments..the city will not allocate enough social services funds to pay the banks rent. Capitalism at work all over the world. Atlanta has turned into tent city..looks like downtown LA.
Diez mil personas: ten thousen, not tens of thousen
Muchas gracias! \tp
@@dwnews Awful, uninformed reporting and terrible translation. Doesn’t say much about German perfection.
ALL slums are bad, but some are better than others. This particular one doesn't look as bad or as big as some in Eastern Europe, Romania in particular. Surely there must one worst than this one in Spain. Si o no.?
España prácticamente acabo con todas las barriadas a finales de los 90, antes de los 90 habia muchas
Actually this is the biggest slum of Europe, maybe not the worst, but biggest yeah
Spanish people talk about how Mexico and the rest of Latin America is poor. This is the outskirts of Madrid? This can easily be one of the outskirts of Mexico City too. Or well just about many of the so called "poor" places in Mexico and the rest of Latin America look like this. Though tbh if they are the poorest people in Spain, they dont look too bad really.
Spain's and Mexico's GDP are almost the same.
@@CesarClouds y mexico tiene 127 millones de personas mientras que españa tiene 46 millones. PIB no es un buen indicador de riqueza, para eso es mejor PIB per capita (el pib divido por la cantidad de gente)
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TREASURES THEY SWINDLES FROM SOUTH AMERICA???? HAVE THEY SPENT ALL????
haha no theyre all over Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia etc.
The royals kept it all for themselves, they never spent any of it for the lower clases
MEXICO IS 100 times worse than here
+Alan Nikolai Stratmann vete a la fregada!
Izaac.. Same with India!
no this is how most mexicans live
Nah bro. Most still decent. But this is about average life in Mexico
Izaac Munoz Its funny to see that some mexican streets are much cleaner and have better houses you obviously never been to mexico..
SPAIN A MILLION EMPTY HOUSES A MILLION PEOPLE WITH NO HOUSES, SHAME ON THE EXPLOITERS
Yo vivi en un brrio bajo toda mi vida 😔🏚
ohh my god is this europe or sub saharan africa so my South Africa is not that bad ?
It is that bad. However, it is not worth the risk of you losing your life on an over loaded ship to be capsized and eaten by sharks. Those ships are run by smugglers who rape women and sodomize men.
Why this look like baltimore
Let me warn viewers. La Cañada is the typical low area to be avoided that exists in every city.
Poverty is everywhere we should help them and make everyone life beautiful
mmmh the slum is very clean
Cuánto vale una casa normal en España.?
Consulta idealista (es el mayor portal de compra, venta y alquiler de España y todas las casas las ponen ahí) Solo pon la ciudad que te interese seguido de idealista. Por ejemplo: "Madrid idealista" y te salen miles de casas. Puedes incluso filtrar de menor a mayor precio y viceversa, y ver en qué barrios está cada una.
Saludos.
Toda la gente comentando en ingles y yo haciendo la tarea
Looks like the poorerst zones of Mexico or American countries :/
Lmaoo

@meh meh It's subjective
Que feo lugar que decepción me ha dejado España

Spain has welfare?
It has , but if you can get a 400 euros pay ( you need to do a lot of paperwork ) , you can't get a rent for it . A lot of humble and hardworking people live there also .
It has, and it's free and accessible to everyone, any of the people you are seeing in the video could go to the hospital whenever they wanted without having to pay a single euro for anything.

It's called karma
Shouldn't have stole from Africa. Plus all of the EU is doing financially poorly.

Why are we surprised? Spain is a country that in many aspects behaves like, has the political system of, and owns the economic traits of a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. Napoleon was not wrong when he said that Europe begins in the Pyrenees.
stfu you must be some dumb northern European. more people go to Italy and Spain for tourism than Northwestern Europe combined.....because Southern Europe is a million times more beautiful, culturally and architecturally. Not to mention Italy and Spain GDP per CAPITA is still welllll in the first world category....just because they show one slum doesn't mean the rest of the country isn't very nice.
France has more slums and worse ghettos than Spain BY FAR, this is a dramatic videos about a crappy illegal "slum" that gypsies used to sell heroin. Even most of the gypsies live in normal houses.
