• Spain has signed agreements with countries that are the origin of irregular immigration obtaining benefits, reducing dangerous migration.
• President Pedro Sanchez and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, are pushing these initiatives, obtaining mutual benefit.
• There has been an increase in migration flows from Mauritania, accounting for 83% of the total Atlantic route, causing alarm.
• Spain and the European Commission are seeking to solve structural problems inherent in irregular migration, beyond migration control and acceptance of returns.
• The agreements involve investments, humanitarian aid, and combating against mafias, supporting the development of countries like Mauritania.
• There is a need to continue working at a European level for the integration of immigrants and to avoid outbreaks of xenophobia.

Conclusion: The approach of addressing the root of migration, through investment, humanitarian aid, and migration agreements with countries of origin, is the correct path to mitigate the problem in the long term.
