"It is evident that Spain is the border between the developed world of Western Europe and the less favored world of the Maghreb and Latin America. For this reason, we cannot sit back, we have to adapt and provide a solution to topic immigration". This was stated at the University of Navarra by Juan Velarde, award Príncipe de Asturias de las Ciencias Sociales, who was part of the tribunal of a thesis on Economics of the Education defended in the School of Philosophy and Letters of the aforementioned campus pamplonés.

According to this Full Professor emeritus of the Complutense University of Madrid, "all the estimates made between now and 2040, even the most positive ones, maintain that Spain will need at least seven million more immigrants. Therefore, we will have to assume the balance between the microeconomic benefits and the macroeconomic disadvantages that can be deduced from the social costs of their integration, if we do not want to suffer much worse costs".

Juan Velarde also referred to the recent drop in unemployment figures in April. According to him, the current status is nothing alarming. "The Spanish Economics has always been characterized by stagnation at employment. From the arrival of Aznar to the present day, three million new jobs have been created, which can be considered an exceptional magnitude. In addition, other factors must be taken into account, such as the progressive incorporation of women into the world of work or the high number of people who are not actively looking for employment but who appear in the data of the high school National employment", he stressed.

"The socioeconomic world will remain the same on June 21."

Regarding the general strike called for June 20, this member of issue of the Royal Academy of Moral and Political Sciences was categorical: "It is a mere political instrument. It has nothing to do with achieving social benefits for workers. The unions have chosen this date because of its coincidence with the lecture of Seville, but their only goal is to achieve resonance. The socioeconomic world will remain the same on June 21," he acknowledged.
