The text questions the logic of those who demand that the Vatican, despite being significantly smaller than Firgas, the Gran Canarian municipality, should accommodate immigrants seeking opportunities in Spain and the rest of the world. It is noted that the population of the Vatican City State, with 673 inhabitants, is almost twelve times smaller than that of Firgas, which has around 7,757 residents.
This line of argument, according to the author, arises as a reaction to the Christian and humanist discourse of Pope Leo XIV, who recently expressed his support for migrants during his visit to Spain, including Madrid, Barcelona, and Canarias. The criticism is directed at those who, faced with the solidarity shown, retort with the phrase 'if you like immigrants so much, take them to your home,' labeling it as repetitive and typical of the far-right.
It is argued that critical sectors point to the existence of laws for the expulsion of irregular immigrants in the Vatican, similar to other countries like Spain. However, the notable difference in size and population between the Vatican territory and nations like Spain is emphasized. The material impossibility of accommodating all immigrants in such a small territory is presented as an obvious fact, contrasting with the reality of countries with over half a million square kilometers.
The article also addresses criticism towards the far-right, labeling them as racist, xenophobic, classist, supremacist, and inhumane. The possibility of criticizing the Vatican for being a sexist state is mentioned, but it is noted that the far-right ignores this issue, being misogynistic themselves. Xenophobia is described as a phenomenon that has spread from the far-right to the traditional conservative right in Spain.
Finally, it reflects on Spanish politics, criticizing the leader of the PP, Feijóo, for calling President Sánchez 'cowardly,' suggesting that it is Feijóo who acts cowardly by not using a motion of no confidence. It also mentions imputations related to figures like Zapatero and the circle around Ayuso, contrasting the left's self-criticism with the right's in these matters.
