As usual, economically irresponsible countries introduce "free" stuff.

And who pays? How about the EU countries that support them? Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and more.

Nothing is free. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/spain-leads-eu-pandemic...

Spain contribution/benefits to the EU budget has been pretty much flat after the latest EU expansion to the East, so no, the Spaniards are paying for this themselves. Spain was a large beneficiary of the EU budget in the past though.

Exactly. The State cannot generate wealth itself. The State, through its representatives (aka Politicians) take people money's by force to do such stuff.. unbelievable.
