The President of the Spanish Congress, Francina Armengol, urged for “faster and smoother legal migration procedures, emphasizing the need “for investment in this area so that travel becomes safer and controlled, always keeping an eye on human rights,” according to Iberian news outlet Larazon.
During her speech at the 17th plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean held in Morocco, Armengol referred to the migrant crisis affecting the southern and northern Mediterranean basin.
She underscored the importance of addressing organized crime in not only migration issues but also factors that lead to these flows of people, namely “climate change, violence, hatred, or, not least, the desire for a life with more opportunities.”
The President of the Spanish Congress also highlighted the Mediterranean countries’ unity on a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian issue, emphasizing the importance of peace prospects for regional stability.
