Residents of countries affected by the war in Ukraine, including Lithuania, Spain, and Poland, are reacting to the conflict by purchasing real estate in foreign countries. A discussion with representatives from these nations explores their plans for property in Spain, focusing on the quality of life. One Lithuanian resident moved to Spain permanently due to the perceived insecurity in Lithuania, citing better quality of life and remote work opportunities, purchasing a home in Alicante for over 100,000 euros. A real estate broker notes that the war has significantly increased interest in Spanish property among Lithuanians, with many viewing it as a potential future option or an investment, though most purchases are for rental income or holidays. Typically, Lithuanians look for one or two-bedroom apartments costing around 100,000 to 150,000 euros, or larger homes with amenities for those with bigger budgets. Furthermore, Polish residents are also actively interested in Spanish property, primarily due to the war in Ukraine, often choosing southern cities like Marbella and Costa del Sol, frequently seeking ready-to-move-in properties, and sometimes buying multiple properties for both living and rental purposes. A Spanish real estate agent confirms a threefold increase in Polish interest in Spanish property compared to the previous year.

PULSE is an initiative for cross-border collaborative journalism in Europe co-funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement n. PO 4500158093.

PULSE is an initiative coordinated by OBCT that has been promoting intensive journalistic cross-border collaborations in Europe since 2024. Its main aim is to help strengthen the European public sphere by reporting on and telling stories from new and diverse perspectives.

At the heart of PULSE are 10 leading national news outlets (Delfi – Lithuania, DenΓ­k Referendum – Czechia, Der Standard – Austria, EfSyn – Greece, El Confidencial – Spain, Gazeta Wyborcza – Poland, HotNews – Romania, HVG – Hungary, Il Sole 24 Ore – Italy, Mediapool – Bulgaria) and three transnational organisations, including OBCT , n-ost and Voxeurop .

Additional outlets and journalists are involved as associate partners, including EUobserver , FΓΈljeton (Denmark), H-Alter (Croatia), Levila (Estonia), Rubryka (Ukraine), and The Journal Investigates (Ireland).

PULSE is driven by a sort of virtual transnational newsroom made up of journalists from all the publications involved. It collaboratively produces new journalistic content on European issues on a daily basis, coming in many different languages. The editorial output amounts to over a thousand publications per year, mostly in article form.

PULSE also runs 4 thematic networks open to any European journalist interested in crucial issues such as EU enlargement, relations between the EU and other global powers, the EU’s green transition, or media and the information society. These networks function as online communities and periodically publish calls for pitches.
