The discordant message of the journey was launched at its third and final stop: Senegal. For the first time Pedro Sánchez defended the expulsions of irregular migrants. He did so under the protection of security and law and from the only country, of the three he visited, with which Spain had already signed a circular migration agreement years ago. However, its coasts remain those from which the most migrants leave.
