  • Immigration is not yet deemed a serious concern in Spain, whether regular or irregular.
  • The rising perception of immigration as an issue is linked to its irresponsible usage by the far-right.
  • The case of unaccompanied minors in the Canary Islands is distressing but occasional within the broader migration debate.
  • Alberto Núñez Feijóo utilized the session to handle an internal party issue, rather than the main migration topic.
  • Pedro Sánchez emphasizes the need to receive immigrants to offset demographic decline. He has proposed an intercultural integration and coexistence plan.
  • The Government will request Brussels to advance the implementation of the European migration and asylum pact.

Conclusion: The focus on immigration in Spain has become more political than problematic. The irrational perception of the immigration issue is being fueled by the far-right, and proposed solutions like Sanchez's integration plan require close monitoring.
