She stated this to the political council of the PSIB-PSOE in Palma, where she lamented that the Balearic Government is going to the Supreme Court to prevent two migrant minors from the Canary Islands "from entering Mallorca" while "20 million tourists will be welcome each year" in the Balearic Islands.

"People are people, not illegals," Armengol stated, also denouncing the right's attempt to establish "a racist discourse" against "a certain type of immigration."
In response, she praised the Spanish government's sound immigration policy and criticized the fact that "it's not possible to have leaders who don't come to the negotiating table, who keep a low profile and who only seek headlines against a type of immigration that is using it to establish a racist discourse on our islands."
Condemnation of the genocide in Gaza
Regarding the genocide in Gaza, Armengol reiterated her condemnation and stated that she was proud "to belong to a party that governs Spain and is a beacon of hope for other parties internationally." In response, the Secretary General considered it "grotesque to see that the genocide is not condemned by the leaders of the Balearic Islands and by those in the opposition in Spain," adding: "If you don't have enough heart to defend the prevention of the murder of children, I don't know if I want you to govern me."
