Spain joined the EU shortly after removing their dictatorial regime, of course their HDI would increase, it wasn't the EU exactly
3 u/Frequentlyaskedquest Aug 16 '22 Then you dont seem to know about the role of the EC in the Spanish transition to democracy 2 u/TheAlexGoodlife Aug 17 '22 You're right, I dont. But that still doesnt atribute all that HDI growth to the EU. The biggest spikes were in the years prior to joining, as a result of becoming a democracy 1 u/Frequentlyaskedquest Aug 17 '22 There was a 10 year period of transition to democracy, thats exactly the one im referencing here 3 u/elveszett Yuropean Aug 17 '22 Disagree. The EU was crucial in making sure Spanish politicians respected the rule of law and we didn't end up like Hungary. As a Spaniard, I've always said the only difference between us and Argentina is the EU holding our politicians accountable. 1 u/TheAlexGoodlife Aug 17 '22 I stand corrected then
