>never had communism
Spain got Franco, Italy got years of communist terrorism and powergames between russia and USA etc.

Honestly the main reason is the EURO tho, we were fine before it.

They didn't have Communism, Portugal and Spain even had Fascism. It's actually what doomed them.

Good times lead to weak men which lead to hard times.

>we
>that flag
We should ask Hiroshimoot to add the Liberland flag to the list. At least that's a semi-legitimate new nation based on real ideals, even if it isn't recognized internationally.

1) Portugal can't have a a right-wing leader, they have to either choose between a communist government or a socialist one. I'ts been like this since 1974.
2) After the fall of the based regime of the coronels, Greece had a corrup leftist traitor who demanded a fuckton of loans and never paid them back, thus falling into the never ending cycle of shit.
3) Spain had two dumbasses, one started to build a fuckton of buildings everywhere creating inflation, the second one invited subhuman niggers from South America creating a housing problem. It all fell down when this roaches started to demand loans from the banks and never paid them back.

Don't know what happened to Italy though.

Bullshit

The reason they're currently in decline (and will most likely continue to be for a minimum of a decade) is because the world got into a Depression in the last decade. Now, there are administrations around the world who very skillfully delayed it inside their countries (the US through the Fed, Northern Europe through the EU, China's artificial real estate sector, so on) while everyone else pretty much sank into either stagnation or straight up decline (Russia, Southern Europe, Northern Africa, Southern America, etc).

The reason for that is because you can't get out of the depression exporting olive oil. Southern Europe simply has nothing special to offer. It doesn't have a geopolitical power, it has a minimal influence on the EU, it doesn't have a specialized industry or any rare resource - nothing. Even the immigrants don't want to stay there. Why would employment or wages rise in such a region when the businesses can simply be established in Northern Europe instead? And they do exactly that, with unemployment for the 18-25 age group currently being around 50% if I'm not wrong. Yes, about HALF of the young adults there are not employed and live with their parents. If this is not a depression then I don't know what is (and again, let me remind you that this is not the EU's fault, it's just that the region is shit and currently can't solve its own issues)

But don't be too happy for not being born there because the rest of the world can't keep the bubble up forever either. Whatever's happening in Southern Europe will soon happen in the West. It's a lot like a disease that spreads and managed to infect SE first, but they will also be the first to find the solution to it and cure themselves of it (probably along with Russia) while everyone else will lag behind.
