The president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has accused the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, of “stimulating the call effect” of the migrants on their journey to Africa. Sánchez is currently on an official trip to Mauritania, Senegal and Gambia; Last night, in his first stop in Mauritania, the president defended that migration is not a problem, but “a necessity that implies certain problems”, and declared that it is “fundamental” for the Spanish economy since it represents ” wealth, development and prosperity”.
This morning, the leader of the opposition, Núñez Feijóo, considered the intervention of the President “irresponsible.” In a message on the social network “Unlike the rest of the EU,” says Feijóo. The ‘popular’ also defended that whoever comes to Spain must have a “contract of origin” and a “letter of compliance” with Spanish laws.
The spokesperson of the PP, Miguel Tellado, also considered that Sánchez’s intervention in Mauritania was “absolute nonsense”, “a clear call for illegal immigration” causing “hundreds of deaths” for which the President of the Government is “corresponding”, he said. said. “That’s the opposite,” said Tellado in an interview on esRadio. “While Germany and Italy talk about mass deportation and go to the countries of origin to stop departure, Sánchez talks about mass control and goes to the countries of origin to encourage departure,” he sent.
Albares blames Feijóo for “lack of humanity”
On behalf of the Government, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, responded this morning to Feijóo’s words, and criticized the PP’s “lack of humanity” in matters of migration. In an interview on TVE, Albares accused the PP leader of following the “xenophobic and alarming speech of Vox”.
The Minister insisted that Feijóo openly covers the most xenophobic theses of the extreme right” with his latest message on networks. “The PP is behind Vox in a xenophobic, alarming speech that above all tries to divide Spanish society,” the minister denied.
Therefore, he replied to the leader of the opposition “if he does not want to support the Government, if he does not want to support the Spanish, at least he should support his own governments” in Ceuta, Melilla and the Islands Canaries, where the ‘popular’ rules. “It seems to me that there is a complete lack of responsibility and humanity on the part of the Common Party,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The minister, like Sánchez, argued the economic argument to protect the migration. “In the years to come all of Europe, not just Spain, will be in dire need of foreign labor to maintain this extraordinary economic growth and the first people to know them are businessmen,” said Albares in the interview.
Also from Sumar they have discredited Núñez Feijóo because of his words about migration and “called consequence”. “The ‘Call effect’ is the one that causes the collection of resources in their countries, climate change, violence and conflicts,” wrote MEP Estrella Galán, leader of the list for Sumar in the European elections, on Twitter. “It is irresponsible to use this argument again in order not to address the complex phenomenon of migration,” said Galán.
Sánchez considers migration as the “foundation” of the economy
In Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania, Sánchez appeared last night with his counterpart of Mauritania, Mohamed Ould Ghazouani, after the meeting they both had. The President of the Government then explained that in their meeting they discussed how to jointly manage the issue of migration, and he emphasized that this phenomenon is a matter of moral principles, solidarity and dignity, as well as reasoning due to the contribution of migrants. workers for the Spanish economy are “basic”.
The Chief Executive also recalled that until recently Spain was a country that migrated to seek a better future. “They aspired to a better life, as people who take serious risks in many cases and embark on a dangerous adventure aspire to now,” he said.
Sánchez defended the promotion of formulas that allow the phenomenon of migration to be managed for the benefit of societies and to fight mafias that traffic in people. In addition, the President signed a memorandum of understanding with Mauritania regarding circular migration projects – temporary hiring of workers for certain sectors – and to reinforce cooperation in security and the fight against organized crime.
