Irregular migrant flows towards Spain has declined by an approximate 36% in the first four months of the year compared to the same period last year, largely thanks to Morocco’s cooperation, according to the Spanish Ministry of Interior.

The Ministry of Interior revealed that the number of irregular migrants arriving in Spain has dropped from 10,256 at the end of April 2022 to 6,525 in the same period in 2023, a decrease of 36.38%.

Arrivals to the Canary Islands has decreased by half, exactly 51.52%, while the entry of irregular immigrants to the peninsula and the Balearic Islands has soared by 28.94%.
