THE Migration crisis in Ceuta and the Canary Islands In recent weeks, and the political turmoil surrounding the search for a solution has once again focused the attention of the Spanish people on the problem. migration. So much so that it has gone from the fourth problem of Spanish citizens to the first, according to the latest barometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) published this Wednesday. A change that has occurred in just two months and which contrasts sharply with those revealed by the same study in its entirety. canoe crisisThe government blames the “media overexposure” caused “by an extreme right which does not hesitate to resort to hoaxes” and which benefits from the support of the PP.
With migration as the main problem of Spain in the eyes of its citizens with 30.4%, while in July it was the fourth, it is worth comparing with the barometers of 2006 when they arrived More than 31,000 people towards the Spanish coast during the period described as the Cayucos crisis. In none of the reports published by the CEI throughout that year was migration as worrisome as it is today. In fact, in no month of that year did migration leave 18th place.
In the eyes of the Minister of Territorial Policy and former President of the Government of the Canary Islands – one of the regions most affected by this issue -, Ángel Víctor Torres, this change in the perception of the Spanish people towards the migratory phenomenon responds to the fact that “the images of boats under cover have an effect”.
He then stressed that “there are those who, instead of looking for solutions, want these covers, wants to fuel conflictsThere is a dangerous far right that doesn’t care. use hoaxesand this on a permanent basis, and with the support of PP“. In this sense, we can see that it is precisely those who have a more right-wing ideology who designate migration as a main problem.
