Summary/Abstract: The Romanian community in Spain represents the largest community in Spain (18,61%), surpassing the community of Moroccans, a demographic reality that resulted from the large migration movements registered after 1990. This article purpose is to describe in a synthetic manner, the issues of those Romanians who chose to emigrate to Spain, as part of Romania's economic diaspora. Starting from the law of sociological parallelism, the importance of the chosen theme is given by the fact that the phenomenon of migration indirectly represents an indicator of an internal imbalance of the Romanian nation, and directly, the magnitude and constancy of the phenomenon show that the mirage of the transition to democracy preserved the degraded status of the elites as well as the degrading status of the Romanian people. We will try to describe the current status of the Romanian nation succinctly using two key concepts: vitality (Nicolae Iorga) and nation (Dimitrie Gusti), both applied on the background of the law of sociological parallelism (Dimitrie Gusti).
