Migrant crisis could ‘tarnish’ Europe’s image — Spanish FM
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSpanish Foreign Minister Jose Maria Garcia-Margallo warns that the migrant crisis could “tarnish” Europe’s image and pledges his country will take in refugees despite its economic woes.
“From an ethical and practical point of view, so as not to tarnish the image of Europe and therefore favor extremism, we must make the maximum effort” to help refugees, Garcia-Margallo says in Iran.
He says Spain will do its part “to welcome a maximum number of refugees, offer them a roof over their heads and social services” despite its financial difficulties.
Garcia-Margallo does not say how many refugees Spain is willing to receive.
