Prague, March 15 (CTK) – Young Western European are increasingly moving to the Czech Republic, escaping joblessness, fear of migrants and the worsened security situation in their home countries, daily Pravo writes yesterday.
This is evidenced by the personal plans of some foreigners, Pravo writes, citing a young Spaniard, 25, from Barcelona.
“There is not only high unemployment here, but our country is no longer safe. We have our radicals and a part of the country wants to be independent,” he told the paper.
“In addition, there are the Islamists. They study both here and elsewhere in Europe and they seem to have integrated themselves, but then they suddenly spread death wherever it occurs to them,” the man said.
“Prague is safe and one can see a great deal of cultures without any problems there,” he added.
“All major international corporations are represented in Prague. Given the prices, the salaries are not bad in the Czech Republic,” the man said.
“Banks are still recruiting young people for interesting openings,” he added.
Thousands of Western European youths are thinking like him, Pravo writes.
Since 2004, the number of foreigners in the Czech Republic has increased 2.3 times to the current 184,500, the paper writes, quoting the figures from the Czech Statistical Office (CSU).
Further Europeans from all EU countries are heading for the Czech Republic, it adds.
An increasing number of young EU inhabitants are interested in getting in the Czech Republic, the society Intrum Justitia says in its European report, Pravo writes.
These are primarily young people aged 18-24, the report said.
Lack of jobs, fears of migrants and a worsening security situation are the main reasons for the young people wanting to migrate, it added.
Over one-third of young Italians, 13 percent of Swedes, 60 percent of Hungarians and 41 percent of Poles are considering moving to a different country, the report said.
In Europe, there are about five million young unemployed. As they are used to a Europe without borders, they are ready to set in motion, also for fear of Islamic migration, it added.
Attacks of the type that occurred in Paris, sexual harassment, thefts and attacks in swimming pools in Germany and the latest threats in the streets of Swedish towns where women are all but forced to obey a sort of curfew are the main reasons to leave the chief European business centers, Pravo writes.
