On August 4, 2026, the Spanish migrant support organization ACCEM called for a durable and rights-based response to the ongoing migrant emergency in Spain. The group emphasized that any solution must respect the rule of law and human rights, according to statements reported by Spanish media.
ACCEM, which has worked with migrants and refugees for decades, expressed concern over the current situation and urged authorities to move beyond temporary measures. The organization stressed the need for long-term integration policies and legal pathways for migrants.
The call comes as Spain continues to receive significant numbers of migrants, particularly via the Canary Islands route. According to data from the Spanish Interior Ministry, arrivals in 2026 have remained high, though exact figures for the latest period were not immediately available.
ACCEM's statement aligns with broader appeals from humanitarian groups for the European Union to adopt a coordinated and humane migration policy. The organization reiterated that migrants' rights must be upheld at all times, including access to asylum procedures and basic services.
