  • Spain is facing a record-breaking increase in migration flows, overwhelming the system's capacity.
  • President Sánchez's gamble to promote 'circular migration' is reasonable, but it comes at a time when communities are already overwhelmed.
  • Sánchez's tour has not achieved new agreements or a viable plan for the migration crisis, instead sending out mixed signals.
  • Confusing proposals include offering 250,000 legal jobs in Mauritania.
  • Greater coordination with Europe is needed to address the crisis.
  • More than 22,000 individuals have arrived in the Canaries this year, and up to 70,000 more are expected to arrive in 2024.
  • Immigration is essential for Spain's economy and to offset the falling birth rate.
  • It is necessary to stem irregular immigration that feeds mafias and represents a humanitarian drama.

Conclusion: Spain is facing a significant challenge in terms of migration. It needs a better coordinated strategy, both at a national and European level, and a balance between economic needs, social coexistence and respect for human rights.
