Re: Is there any animosity about brixit
I have not noticed any animosity from Spanish towards us , confusion etc yes but animosity no. I have noticed some animosity from certain British living here toward other British that they know voted out.

The Spanish don't seem to care and are amazed at how long it's taking. |

Hola
A friend in Valencia was refused post operative treatment because of Brexit; totally wrong of course because we are still Europeans until the UK leaves whereupon there may (or may not) be a different status of affairs Davexf |
Re: Is there any animosity about brixit
No animosity.
Just laughter and general bemusement...even the chap in the ITV centre when getting my van checked...saw i was British, said the word "Brexit" and started to laugh...then said "Boris" and laughed even more...i think the van passed due to sympathy... |

Re: Is there any animosity about brixit
Since the posters here who voted leave seem perfectly happy to publically reveal their choices perhaps they'd be willing to also share why they made that choice.
I hope the answers are not that you hold - or can obtain - Irish passports! |

This echoes my experiences in this matter:
What my Spanish neighbours think of Brexit |
Re: Is there any animosity about brixit
We are the only two that were born in England that live in this city, so no other Immigrants from the U.K. to argue with. Being geographically on a different continent, with a different time zone the Islanders seem to have little or no interest in the EU let alone the U.K. so no animosity from them at all.

Re: Is there any animosity about brixit
Most don’t talk about it, however some see the English in particular as stupid, call themselves “ex-pats” not immigrants and can’t/won’t learn the language. I find it hard to comprehend the leave voters rationale, and those who live here and voted leave, well it beggars belief. many Spanish welcome us and appreciate our attempts to integrate. |

The Island Council of El Hierro participates in the ENERMAC interregional territorial cooperation project on renewable energies and energy efficiency for sustainable development (the EU funds the project to the tune of EUR 2 000 000, 85% of the total cost). The council is also taking part in an interregional project called ECO-TUR, which aims to set up a trans-national network of municipal councils to devise a strategy to promote ecotourism and active tourism (which benefits from EUR 2165 in EU funding). El Hierro has a total of 11 nature reserves – accounting for 57.8% of its territory – which are protected under the European nature conservation network Natura 2000. Wine from El Hierro has Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status guaranteed under EU rules. https://what-europe-does-for-me.eu/ |

The UK will be paying my pension. The UK will be taking tax. The UK will (probably) be where my children go to live and work. Why can't I try and make a better future for us and them. (I know remainers don't believe it will be better but that's not my point here). I have a right to vote because it affects me and might affect my family! |
