The lack of culture among some members of the Spanish government gives rise to situations that would be comical if they didn't address serious problems.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, the Minister of Education and spokesperson for the Spanish government, the socialist Pilar Alegr\u00eda, attempted to counter those who associate mass immigration with crime<\/strong>, and she did so by providing a figure that showed she is not very good at math. According to the socialist minister, 73% of crimes committed in Spain are committed by Spanish perpetrators<\/a>, a figure she provided as a \"solvent\" for the complaints of more and more people against one of the collateral effects of this government's irresponsible immigration policy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n By providing this data, Pilar Alegr\u00eda ended up harming mass immigration when she was trying to defend it.<\/strong> We only need to look at another piece of data that allows us to establish which part of the population has a higher incidence of crime. According to the National Statistics Institute (INE), Spain has a population of 49,153,849 people, of which 6,947,711 are foreign citizens<\/a>. A simple calculation is enough to see that this means that foreigners make up 14.13% of the population<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If Spaniards commit 73% of crimes, the conclusion we have is that 14.13% of the population commits 27% of crimes<\/strong>. Although she has a primary school teaching qualification, Pilar Alegr\u00eda may feel a bit lost at this point, so I will add that this means that there is a higher percentage of criminals among the foreign population than among Spanish citizens<\/strong>. Something I already pointed out here in 2022<\/a>, based on official data published by the government itself.<\/p>\n As I warned three years ago, statistics are an indicator of social reality, not an individual portrait.<\/strong> Higher crime rates among the foreign population do not mean that all foreigners are criminals. In fact, as with the population of any country, I am convinced that the vast majority of foreigners residing in Spain are honest people<\/strong> who earn a living by working, pay taxes, and do their best to support their families. The problem is that there is a significant group of criminals among them, and the government does not seem very concerned about this.<\/strong> In fact, it has been allowing many illegal immigrants to enter and distributing them throughout Spain instead of deporting them, without being able to guarantee that criminals are not sneaking in among them.<\/p>\n On the other hand, we must bear in mind that many of the criminals the government counts as Spanish are naturalized foreigners<\/strong> Yesterday I already pointed out an alarming fact here: since 2018 (when S\u00e1nchez came to power) 237,000 Moroccans have obtained Spanish nationality<\/a>. The granting of nationality has become an object of criticism because the government is giving it away without checking the degree of integration of those who obtain it<\/strong>, unlike what happens in other European countries.<\/p>\n
