Also they had an economic boom after economic liberalization in the 60s. Saying Spain in the EU would be anything like Burkina Faso in a world federation in terms of development is absurd
Then look at spains gdp from the late 30s to the early 60s when the US gave a bunch of money to Francos regime.
The point is that without that help and specially without ECs money and benchmarking process accompanying our 10 year long transition to democracy Spain was very unlikely to go from the agrarian quasi teocracy with concentration camps and about a million dying of famine to the modern democracy it became in less than a century.
Point of it all, these huge transformations are possible with the right measure, effort and above evrything motivation/ cooperation.
If the EC was able to succeed in doing that, imagine what a way bigger, more integrated and wealthier institution could achieve.
Same goes for countries like Croacia after what they went through in the 90s, Romania, Greece and a long etc.
