President Javier Milei of Argentina has accused Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of using immigration to secure votes and maintain his rule. Speaking on Monday in an interview with LN+ television, Milei alleged that Sánchez is granting Spanish citizenship to migrants, thereby encouraging them to vote for him. However, Milei offered no evidence to back up his claims.
Milei's remarks came in response to the ongoing migration crisis in the Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta, where at least 72 people have died attempting to cross from Morocco. The influx has seen roughly 60,000 people enter Ceuta, with most subsequently returning to Morocco according to Spanish authorities.
Milei has been critical of socialism, stating that "when people wake up, the end of socialism draws near." He also suggested charging foreign nationals to use public services in Argentina, including education.
