A young Cuban resident in Spain has caused a stir on social media after sharing a video on TikTok where she advises against emigrating to that country without having a stable legal situation.
In the video uploaded by the user @claudiazvibes, the Cuban, named Claudia, presents several reasons that make life difficult for migrants who arrive in Spain without papers or without proper planning.
With a direct tone, Claudia begins the video warning: "If you don't have papers or a way to fix it, don't even come, because you won't find work and they won't rent you an apartment without papers."
The young woman explains that for undocumented immigrants, finding employment becomes an almost impossible challenge, as companies often require legal documentation that many newcomers do not have.
Another point addressed is the high cost of living, especially concerning housing rentals. Claudia notes that "there are no apartments available for rent or they are too expensive," making the search for a place to live a complicated and stressful process for migrants, who face high prices and a shortage of options.
This testimony has generated a wide debate in the community of Cuban migrants, who share their own experiences in the comments of the video about the difficulties of starting a new life in Spain. Some agree with Claudia's warnings, while others express that, despite the challenges, their experience has been more positive.
"It's all true, but Cuba is worse. Here, working, you have everything and you live," "No one will rent to you if you don't have a payroll, that's the other thing," "You're right, the situation is bad here," are some of the testimonies.
Claudia's video has particularly resonated with those considering emigrating to Europe, as it offers a realistic and raw perspective on the challenges that migrants without proper documentation and a clear strategy for settling down may face.
Claudia's testimony is a reminder for those thinking about emigrating of the importance of being well-informed and adequately planning before taking the step towards a new country, especially in a migratory reality as complex as the European one.
