È interessante vedere che meno dell’1% dei cittadini maltesi vive in un altro stato dell’UE (anche se la percentuale di maltesi nativi effettivi – cioè esclusi miliardari da altri paesi che hanno acquistato il passaporto – potrebbe essere inferiore).
E sono curioso del perché, dal momento che sembra che così tanti maltesi non piacciano lo stato attuale del loro paese. A differenza dei rumeni che hanno assunto l’Italia, la Spagna e ora l’Irlanda

answer is simple. they are richest in Europe
Because most Maltese people migrate to the UK which is not an EU state.

Mentality
From young age we like to stay close to family. I seen this when I went to erasmus. Foreigners leave their family home to study at the age of 18 and create self dependancy. Malta average age of leaving their parents home is 30. Sometimes I think that we are so close minded as a society because of this reason since we only see Malta and not beyond.
I think there might be 2 reasons for this. The first one I think would be that since most Maltese people still live with their parents for a very long time and are constantly with their families, it would be very hard for them to move away since one cannot really get a quick ride or train to mainland Europe (which is one of the main reasons stopping me and some of my closest friends for example). The second would be that since we speak Maltese and English, our options to move abroad in Europe are quite limited to English speaking countries, as opposed to other countries which have similar languages to their neighbours and sometimes speak multiple other EU languages at a time.
Why not
I think that Malta and Romania are not very comparable. While we do indeed dislike our governments, on an individual level, people are pretty comfortable here. This greatly disincentives moving out unless it’s for professional development.
