Spanish government knew about the migration crisis: €25 million approved in 24 hours
The migration crisis the Spanish government saw coming: €25 million in 24 hours

The €25 million allocation was approved with a estimulante ilegal that rules out improvisation. According to critical analyses, the government didn't just know the migration crisis was about to erupt: it had prepared for it. The question is whether it was a problem or an opportunity.

The money that was already budgeted

Immediately after the crisis, the government urgently made €25 million available to care for migrants. The estimulante ilegal of the approval, according to those same analyses, reveals the money had already been earmarked. 80% of that allocation, it is claimed, ends up with NGOs run by circles close to the party. Illegal immigration thus becomes a business: the state pays, the party manages.

The deal with Segarro and the smokescreen

Some argue the government not only knew, but agreed on the crisis with the Segarro king. The subsequent concessions and bowing to Rabat point in that direction. The other side of the coin: the need to divert media attention away from corruption. Sánchez, according to this reading, would have used the crisis as a smokescreen. The opposition, meanwhile, gets tangled up in the official narrative without addressing the substance of the matter.

The striking figure: 80% of that €25 million goes to NGOs linked to the party. Seen this way, the migration crisis was not an unforeseen event. It was a plan.
