Marlaska doesn't recognize the migratory route in the Islands and says his immigration policy is "a success."

PalmInterior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska avoided acknowledging the existence of a migratory route in the Balearic Islands during the government oversight session taking place this Wednesday in Congress. "Are you still denying the existence of a human trafficking route on the coast of the islands?" asked PP MP José Vicente Marí Bosó. Marlaska responded by claiming that, overall, Spain "has reduced irregular immigration by 36%," and that this is "the fifth." In this sense, he considered the government's immigration policy "a success."

The minister has defended the Spanish government's "fight against mafias" and asserted that they are managing "irregular immigration much better" than these countries, which, according to Marlaska, the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, used as an example. "We are working in Europe, in the countries of origin and trafficking," he said, and boasted about "providing solutions to a complex problem" that the PP leaders, he said, "are unaware of."

For his part, Marí Bosó reproached the minister for the fact that President Marga Prohens "already warned of the tragedy in Congress three years ago": "You denied it, you aggravated Algeria, you didn't fill vacancies, and you kept the security forces of the Balearic Islands destitute." "With your inaction, you have consolidated a path," he insisted: "You are adding to the equation with grandiloquent words while calling everyone 'racist'."
