Spanish PP Grapples with Immigration Challenges

Published: 2024-07-09

The Spanish People's Party (PP) is facing a complex situation regarding immigration, particularly the distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors.

PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has called for European Union assistance to control immigration, citing a 'limit' situation in the Canary Islands.

The party is willing to accept migrants but demands additional funds and resources from the government.

PP spokesperson Borja Sémper emphasized that solidarity is essential, but rejected any form of blackmail, responding to threats from far-right party Vox to break coalition agreements.

The PP has also criticized the government's handling of the immigration crisis, accusing it of improvisation and lack of action in foreign policy.
