Spanish PM urges compassion for refugees, criticizes leaders and Russian disinformation

"We must be able to accept those who are fleeing war. We must help Africa develop, progress and prosper..."

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez appealed to his fellow citizens to show more compassion toward refugees, criticized several national leaders who refuse to accept migrants from conflict zones, condemned Russian social media accounts spreading false narratives about the migration crisis in Spain, and shared his opinion:

"You cannot grab a person by the hand and simply throw them across the border as if they were a sack of soil."
