Hungarian is similar to Turkish too.

It is not. It's not even in the same language family.

Huns were Turkic and there are many similar words in both languages.

Most Hungarians are not Huns, despite as much as they want to be it.

Más de 2.800 pueblos abandonados en España, la mayoría en Galicia y Asturias

More than 2800 abandoned towns, in fact there are a lot more counting towns with a single person ot just a couple.

Most of those immigrants from Latin America returned to their countries after the crisis, many are returning Spanish immigrants -Venezuela.

Spain needs 150.000 immigrants per year to maintain a constant population until 2050.

If they have the Spanish nationality, they are not immigrants. Spain is a democracy, not tribal.

Moors are Spanish in a way, more so if they are from Ceuta and Melilla -Hispania Tingitana.

There are neighbourhoods with a high proportion of Pakis, moors, central Americans, chinese, but no ghettoes. The closest thing to ghettoes are gypsy ghettoes...and those have been around during the last 1000 years.

150.000 immigrants a year are the amount of people needed to keep a young -needed- working force and avoid aging population, as Spain is one of the countries with the oldest population in the world.

The real problem is birthrate, that is plummeting.

Most of those towns became deserted during the large scale migration during the 60's and 70's from the countryside to the city.

Spain had a NET LOSS of inhabitants this year for the first time from 1939 - civil war - and 1915 -the Spanish flu, that's what worries authorities, not racist agendas.

Zamora is not a small province, and not poor either.

Spanish flu was 1918-1919
