This is the Army aircraft the Government used to transport immigrants
Sánchez's government used the Air Force to transport illegal immigrants to the mainland.
Pedro Sánchez's government continues to use state resources, paid for by all taxpayers, to mobilize illegal immigrants from the Canary Islands to the mainland amid a migration crisis. In recent weeks, the government has used military aircraft from the Air and Space Force to move illegal immigrants from the Canary Islands to the mainland.
The government's first move was on December 31, a holiday, when almost everyone was at home with their family, unaware of what was happening. January 9 was the second date chosen by the government. On both days, A400M aircraft, a powerful military plane, were mobilized.
According to information published by THE OBJECTIVE, the military used two A400M planes to transport illegal immigrants from the Canary Islands to the mainland. The request was made by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration, headed by the socialist Elma Saiz.
Social Media Erupts over the Use of Military Planes for Immigrant Transfers
Social media ignited last week after images were circulated that sparked controversy over the use of military planes to transfer sub-Saharan immigrants to the mainland.
In particular, a user shared a photograph that apparently shows the arrival of a group of immigrants at the Zaragoza military base. According to the published content, the flight originated in Gran Canaria. This sparked an intense debate on digital platforms about the use of military resources in such operations.
The issue has caused divided opinions and growing media attention, while clarifications are awaited from the authorities.
The Falcon Despega platform, known for tracking official flights, shows no record of the military flight that supposedly transported sub-Saharan immigrants to the mainland.
However, there is information about an official A-310 model flight that took off on January 9 from the Torrejón de Ardoz airbase at 8:00 a.m. It landed shortly after in the Valencian Community, presumably with cargo related to the deployment for the DANA.
Later, at 11:08 a.m., the same plane departed for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where it might have picked up the immigrants for a subsequent flight to the mainland. According to records, it took off at 2:58 p.m. and landed in Torrejón two and a half hours later.
Nonetheless, the platform contains no information about another flight linked to this operation. The one that occurred on December 31, which has raised questions about transparency in the use of official resources.
