True, the cost is the same to local bank tranfer , minimun 7€, if i move
a lot of money is a little comission, but in 15€ is the half.

thinking in dontations, the cuantities alwais going to be little, so i
think is the way to make it must to be easy. Go to my bank office , wait
20 minutes, ask for a international tranfer, put the IBAN and other
data, pay 7€ to make a donation of (for example) 20€ is not simple .

"spain is different"

But not only spain. Debian is used aroun the world , so ucranian, korean
or argentin user can not donate a little money to help his/her favourite
project.
