ThePresident of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez , today called for "safe, regulated and orderly" migration in the face of the racist riots in Torre Pacheco , Murcia, as a factor in the economic development of the Spanish State.
Sanchez has defended this type of migration in his institutional declaration with thePresident of Mauritania, Mohamed Ould Ghazouani , on the occasion of the Summit between the two states.
The head of the Spanish Government has not explicitly mentioned the situation in Murcia, where racist and xenophobic clashes began last week following the attack on a 68-year-old man. Three young people of Maghreb origin have been arrested for their alleged involvement in this attack.
Sanchez has highlighted the contribution of migration to the Spanish economy and recalled that at the time many Spaniards had to move to other countries in search of opportunities.
"Today, Spain's progress and good economic situation owe a lot to the contribution of migration that has come to develop a life project," he added.
It has therefore advocated cooperation with states such as Mauritania to ensure "safe and orderly" migration, which "will benefit societies", it has added.
Sanchez has travelled to Mauritania accompanied by seven ministers, including the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, who is chairing an extraordinary meeting of the follow-up committee to the Plan of Action against Hate Crimes following the attacks on ethnic or cultural minorities by ultra-right-wing groups in Torre Pacheco today.
