The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, plans to travel to the Canary Islands this Tuesday to talk with the president of the islands, Fernando Clavijo, and address his party's proposal for the reception of unaccompanied migrant minors, which he sees as "coinciding" with that of the Canarian Coalition.
The head of the opposition has announced this trip in an interview with Antena 3, in which he also reported that he plans to travel to Greece this week to meet with its prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and also talk about migration.
"(Giorgia) Meloni has managed immigration much better than (Pedro) Sánchez," Feijóo pointed out, after highlighting that Greece and Italy have "lowered the number of irregular migrants entering their countries" while on the Canary Islands route it has increased by 150%.
He has also recognized the work in the countries of origin of the Italian prime minister, while denouncing that Spain is a "bargain" for the mafias, and Italy is not.
As contacts with the Government continue, in the face of the humanitarian crisis in the Canary Islands, the leader of the PP has accused Pedro Sánchez's Executive of not wanting to negotiate the immigration law with his party, for not having parliamentary support in Congress to approve it and because "the opposition has criteria in immigration policy and the Government of Spain does not".
He has defended that his approach coincides with that of the Canarian Coalition, a party with which they co-govern the archipelago, after the PP maintained that the Canary Islands has proposed that the autonomous communities assume the reception until their resources are at 100%, and up to 150% with state resources and that, once that limit is exceeded, it is the State that assumes the care of minors with its own resources and centers.
On the other hand, he has supported the vision of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who differentiated Hispanic-American immigration from that coming from Africa, and has defended that its integration is "easier" for linguistic and historical reasons and is not to "tear one's clothes".
Feijóo has also argued that with 2.7 million unemployed and half a million migrants in an irregular situation already in Spain, "that is the priority and not going to Mauritania and saying that we need 250,000 more migrants each year" because, in his opinion, it implies "an absolutely pernicious call effect".
