Your experience living in Spain
It is not the first time that Valeria lives in Spain. In 2001 The woman, with 12 years, moved with her parents due to the economic crisis that Argentina was hitting. However, the situation of our country was very different then, according to Argentina: «My dad worked only in construction. It was doing very well. There was a lot of work. There were not as many immigrants as now».
With very high expectations, Valeria believed that she could “work the same” as his father and that “he was going to win the same as him.” However, not having studies or a profession made its future work in Spain complicated. «I did not start in the same way, and Nor is the situation in Spain the same as in 2001», He says.

However, Valeria cannot get the single -parent card that would give him these economic benefits because he does not have the authorization of his daughters’ father. «In Spain things seem easier, but They are more difficult than in Argentina», Reflects.
«In Spain things are not achieved as easy as one believes. One comes with all the illusion that things will be achieved, that if the father is far, better … but it is not so. They don’t create everything they tell them», Says Valeria, who says that, at first, they did not let their daughters score at school.
Valeria continues to fight “because the father gives me something for my daughters, who never gave it to me, and I suppose it will be so until they are of legal age.” “Life is difficult,” laments Argentina, which ensures that at this time living in Spain “I can say that I did nothing, just separate my family (…) I work all day, it only reaches me for rent and just for food».
«They are not believed that this is the first world Because far from all that, ”says Valeria, who wishes to” be able to get ahead to be able to move my daughters forward. ” “If I had to go back, to come back with some battle won,” he ends up saying.
