"The more we know, the better." This was the response of the Minister of the Presidency, Antònia Estarellas, to the demand from Vox's deputy spokesperson, Sergio Rodríguez, to know the nationality of those who commit crimes in the Balearic Islands. "We are in favor of transparency. The more data we have, the better we can redirect our lines of action," she added, also criticizing the Spanish government for the lack of information on the origin and circumstances of migrants arriving in the Islands. Rodríguez asserted that "a foreigner rapes five times more often than a Spaniard" and criticized the other parties in Parliament for wanting to address the situation "by lighting candles," referring to the event held on November 25th in memory of the victims of gender violence. The IBDona study

In this regard, the President of the Government of Navarre, Marga Prohens, announced that the IBDona (Institute for Gender Violence in Navarre) has been conducting a study—since March—on sexual assaults, collecting data on the age, nationality, place of residence, immigration and employment status, income, criminal record, and prior relationships with the victims of the perpetrators. Prohens was responding to a question from the Vox spokesperson, Manuela Cañadas, regarding the profile of sex offenders.

The study will last 15 months – analyzing cases from 2018 to 2024 – and has been commissioned to the University-Business Foundation. The budget for carrying it out is €60,000.
