In January-May 2020, mortality in Spain increased by 24.1% compared to the same period in 2019. This is evidenced by data from the National Statistics Institute (INE).
They calculated that from January 1 to May 24, 2020, 225,930 deaths were recorded in Spain, which is 43,945 more than the mortality rate a year ago. At the same time, from March 30 to April 5 alone, 20,575 people died in Spain, which is 154.6% more than in the same week in 2018.
The growing mortality was the result of the outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19, due to which, according to the Spanish Ministry of Health, 28,752 people died in the country (by May 24, 2020). The number of infected amounted to almost 240 thousand people. The maximum number of deaths due to coronavirus, according to official statistics, was recorded on April 2, 2020 - 950 infected died in Spain that day.
Meanwhile, the Association of Funeral Specialists (Aesprof) states that the actual number of deaths from COVID-19 is 36.09% or 15,876 more - 28,109.
The statistics of funeral services in the victims of the coronavirus epidemic include those who died having symptoms similar to coronavirus infection, since "in the first weeks of the epidemic, no screening was carried out in nursing homes, homes and hospitals."
According to Aesprof, the study relies on data from funeral staff, civil records and forensic examinations, experts, pathologists and institutes of forensic medicine. The association highlights the anonymity of its sources due to intense pressure from authorities.
On June 3, 2020, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in Congress that the official death toll uses data transmitted by regional governments, and the collection of statistics complies with the rules of the World Health Organization (WHO).[1]

One of the lowest birth rates in the EU: 8.4 births per 1,000 people
Even though Spain's population increased in 2017, the country's birth rate is among the lowest in Europe. Population growth is largely due to migration.
According to Eurostat, Spain was among the three countries in the European Union with the lowest birth rates.
There are 8.4 births per 1,000 inhabitants of Spain, the same as in Portugal. Statistics suggest that only Italy (7.6) and Greece (8.2) demonstrated lower indicators in the EU. The highest birth rates are recorded in Ireland (12.9), Sweden (11.5) and France (11.4). The average for the European Union is 9.9 births per 1000 people.
On the other hand, Spain is among the six EU member states with the lowest mortality rate: 9 deaths per 1000 population. Bulgaria (15.5), Latvia (14.8) and Lithuania (14.2) are leading in this indicator, and the average European coefficient is 10.3 deaths per 1000 inhabitants[2].
4,164 people missing
Spanish security forces are looking for 4,164 missing residents of the country, the country's news agencies reported in March 2017. 77% of them are men, mainly between the ages of 35 and 50. Barcelona, Las Palmas, Malaga, Madrid and Murcia account for most of the high-risk cases.
Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Soido made the relevant conclusions during the presentation of the first case study and the report prepared by representatives of search associations on the occasion of the Day of the Missing on March 9.
The analysis showed that out of 121,118 missing people reports received since 2010, 3.4% (4,164) remain in development to this day. Among them, 214 episodes are associated with increased risk. Despite the fact that two-thirds of the statements relate to the disappearance of minors, Soido noted that only 9.35% have a high degree of risk, since often such episodes are associated with family problems and the investigation sees no reason to activate special search protocols[3].
The leader in the number of statements about the disappearance of people was the province of Cadiz. However, most of the active search operations are in Barcelona, Las Palmas, Malaga, Madrid and Murcia. According to the minister, in order to more effectively combat this problem, a specialized national center should open in the coming months, the main task of which will be to control and manage the database of disappeared residents of the country and unidentified human remains.
