Discrimination based on grounds of nationality. Case study: Discrimination perceived by Romanian immigrants in the Spanish society

Summary/Abstract: The tendency in the Spanish media to denigrate Romanian citizens, the aversion reactions of Spanish citizens against our countrymen, registered in the “Reports on evolution of racism and xenophobia” in the last 4 years as well as the decisions issued by the Government of Spain in the summer of 2011 to restrict the labor market for Romanian workers, made us ask ourselves whether the Romanian immigrants in Spain are being discriminated. Therefore, from our point of view, it was necessary to perform a field research in order to identify the level of discrimination and the areas where it is felt by Romanian immigrants in the Spanish state. This article captures some aspects of the discrimination phenomenon felt by Romanian immigrants in Spain, by exposing a part of the individual field research conducted in the summer of 2012 in Madrid.
