(ANSAmed) – ATHENS, MAY 27 - Some 34,000 Greeks relocated to
Germany last year, an increase of 43 percent compared to 2011
when 23,800 Greeks moved there, daily Kathimerini reports citing
recent German government statistics. It is not only Greeks who
are increasingly seeking a better life in prosperous Germany but
an growing number of people from other debt-hit countries in
southern Europe. Last year, 29,000 Spaniards, 42,000 Italians
moved to Germany, according to German government statistics. The
largest influx, however, was from central Europe, with 176,000
Poles, 116,000 Romanians and 59,000 Bulgarians relocating to
various parts of Germany. In total more than a million new
immigrants arrived in Germany in 2012, the largest influx since
1995. The average age of the migrants is 32 years. (ANSAmed).
