Focusing on migration and the humane treatment that migrants deserve, both those who embark on a cayuco on the African coasts and risk their lives to cross the Atlantic and the Latin Americans who leave their countries and set out on the path to seek a better life, is the main reason why the Canary Islands are one of the stops of the Pope on his first visit to Spain.

Vox has toned down its public disagreements with the Spanish Episcopal Conference (CEE) ahead of the upcoming visit of Pope Leo XIV to Spain.
