Spain: strengths

• 86% of Spaniards support welcoming refugees (Connor, 2018).

• Spain is now receiving twice as many migrants as Greece and six

times as many as Italy (Benavides, 2018).

• Anti-migrant rhetoric is rare, and the far right is relatively weak

(McAuley & Rolfe, 2018).

• A strengthening of civil society engagement and the formation

of new parties (Simsa, 2015).
