However, the list of statements by politicians is long and hoaxes about migrants. From some time until today, at Newtral we have been verifying false statements by politicians about migrants as well as several hoaxes that have been spread about this group. Here we collect several of them that in recent weeks have gone viral again or have appeared at rallies and debates: ### “Healthcare for illegal immigrants” does not cost 1.1 billion euros A website has published an article in which it assures that "paying the health of illegal immigrants" costs the state coffers more than a thousand million euros. It's false. The data comes from the measure adopted by the then Minister of Health Carmen Montón and with which the current acting Executive committed himself through which Universal Health was recovered and thus provide health coverage to the foreigners residing in Spain. However, the figure is distorted in the headline. And in the text They explain that the 1,100 euros will serve to cover the health expenses of «Europeans who are residents in Spain, as well as people who live in our country in an irregular situation, attention that would mean 500 and 600 million euros, respectively. Therefore, within the news amends the owner himself. ![\\"hoaxes](\\"\\") From manipulated photos to videos taken out of context: hoaxes and misinformation about Kamala Harris ![\\"\\"](\\"\\") Precisely, this Monday in the electoral debate, Santiago Abascal speculated about this supposed cost saying that »We must end healthcare universal for immigrants, how much does that tell us, Mr. Sánchez? Thousand million euros, two billion euros, three billion... You "You know, tell us." However, it has never been documented that the withdrawal of universal healthcare has meant savings for the public coffers. After the health reform of the PP, which excluded from access to normalized public assistance the immigrants in an irregular situation, the Rajoy Government never published the savings that he clung to to defend this measure. In contrast, three years after the repeal of universal healthcare, the PP Government announced the partial return of health access to this group to "not saturate emergencies" and for "public health reasons."

This is an old hoax that went viral in Spain in the summer of 2018, and that many users share again on Facebook a year later. The assault is real, it happened in South Africa in November 2015, and as in Spain, it has been used in other countries such as Italy or Russia to blame migrants for vandalism. However, these young people were students. The Ceuta National Police delegation denies to Newtral that this event has occurred in the autonomous city and tells us that it is not a behavior typical of sub-Saharans living in Ceuta. How do we know it was recorded in South Africa? In the video itself you can see the date and time at which it occurred: 12/11/15, at approximately 3:06 p.m. through search Conversely, the first video that we found on the internet is from December 13, 2015. The description says “TUT cafe in pretoria – Weskampus sa”: this is the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) in Pretoria, South Africa. ![\\"\\"](\\"\\") You can read the verification here ### The MENA do not receive more than 600 euros of pay per month Various images and web page posts shared on social networks and which the far-right party VOX has echoed, assure that the "menas" in Spain have a pay of "600 euros." Quantities vary and They usually appear confronted with the widow's pension that women receive. "Spanish old women." It's false. From Newtral we have contacted all the communities autonomous, since the guardianship of these minors, whether national or foreigners, it is a regional competence and thus be able to contrast this information. The majority denies the statement made by VOX. ![\\"\\"](\\"\\") You can read the verification here ### Abascal on rental aid: «They have created legislation that "It discriminates against Spaniards because it tells them that they have roots." The president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has denounced the aid system for rent because, according to him, it discriminates against Spaniards. During a rally in Madrid on October 27, spoke, specifically, about the latest aid granted in the Community of Madrid for 2018 and 2019 and has made it list in hand of the beneficiaries of these benefits. Has come to read the first surnames on the first page of a document that has, in total, 22. ![\\"\\"](\\"\\") Abascal has stated, specifically, that in Madrid "they have created legislation that discriminates against Spaniards because it tells them that Spaniards have roots and that they manage with their family" The first surnames on the list that Abascal read were foreign and stopped reading when he reached this last name: "Aceituno." Then He said that "here is one who looks like he could be Spanish." Although according to leader of Vox, "if you turn the pages, you see this everywhere," in relation to foreign surnames. It is FALSE. Nor does the legislation discriminate against Spaniards because they have roots nor for any other reason, nor on that list are there, for the most part, people foreigners.

Also the Vox leader, Santiago Abascal, has echoed these data on Twitter and wrote: “Who really cares about the security and freedom of women in Spain? Pack attacks are silenced because 70% of their members are foreigners.” These data are FALSE as they are being presented. we have asked to the Ministry of the Interior if they had the percentage of nationals and foreigners who have committed group sexual abuse and assault in Spain and have responded that such data does not exist. ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads/2019/11/MANADAS-1024x683.jpg?x95607\\") The percentage of foreign sexual offenders in groups comes from data which represents 4% of the total sexual assaults carried out in Spain in 2010.
