Should Spain withdraw from the European Union?
The European Union is a politico-economic union of 28 countries with a combined population of over 510 million. The purpose of the EU was to promote free trade and immigration within its internal market. Each member country would also enact similar laws regarding agriculture and development. Since 2007, public support for EU membership in Spain has fallen 50%. Many Spanish voters blame the great recession on strict economic rules that were imposed under EU membership. Proponents leaving the EU argue that membership undermines Spain's sovereignty and leaving would help Spain control immigration. Opponents of leaving the EU argue would damage trade, cause unemployment and harm foreign investment.

Si, pero solamente mantener el libre comercio en Europa y su Espacio Schengen. Debe limitar un poco más la inmigración.

No, and foster the growth of an EU federal state

No, but the EU should be reformed to resolve its democratic deficit. Also, the EU should be more like a platform for cooperation between member states than the bureaucratic supranational entity it is now.
