At the summit of progressive leaders in Barcelona, the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, returned to the center of the international stage with a controversial proposal: to reform the UN to adapt it to what he defined as “the new global challenges”. However, behind this approach, criticism is growing for what many consider an attempt to export a communist ideological agenda that already generates tensions within Spain
.Sánchez defended the need to strengthen multilateralism and expand representation in international organizations. But these proposals are often accompanied by policies that promote greater migratory flexibility, even in contexts where States face serious difficulties in controlling illegal entry and ensuring integration
.
In this sense, the Spanish president's approach is questioned for promoting a vision that, under the humanitarian argument, tends to minimize problems associated with illegal immigration, such as pressure on public services, the labor market
and security.The intention to transfer these ideas to bodies such as the UN raises concern since this could be consolidated in an international framework that is even more permissive and remote from the reality of many countries.
