no 97% of people on Spain’s minimum basic income are not migrants ahead of the EU elections commentators and social media users are making factually incorrect claims about immigration in Europe whether they’re about benefits or immigration rates the allegations are usually provocative and simply wrong the cube [Music] investigates migration is typically a Hot Topic in any election campaign and is often fueled for inflammatory debates and false claims take this example from Spain this post on Facebook says that almost 97% of people on Spain’s minimum basic income are immigrants the minimum basic income is a social security benefit that provides a basic wage to the economically vulnerable it can range from about 600 to €1,400 a month depending on the beneficiary’s living conditions but the Facebook post is wrong for a couple of reasons firstly it says that it’s the ministry of Labor that pays out the minimum basic income when it’s actually the ministry of inclusion Social Security and migration but more importantly it’s wrong because according to the inclusion ministry’s official data for April 82.4% of beneficiaries held Spanish nationality while only 17.6% were foreigners the post also incorrectly estimates the number of people receiving the minimum basic income Elsewhere on the continent a clip by Dutch far right activist Ava Vlad Dinger Brook alleged that most of the populations of Amsterdam Brussels and London are immigrants she also says that the completely baseless great replacement theory is a reality rather than a far-right conjecture meant to imply that Europe’s white population is being supplanted by immigrants from elsewhere all of this is incorrect official numbers from the Dutch Statistics Office reveal that only 37% of Amsterdam’s population was born outside the Netherlands figures from Belgium statistics agency put the number of bruss residents born outside the country at 48% and in London a 2021 census revealed that 41% of the capital’s population wasn’t born in the UK according to the office for National statistics furthermore simply being born elsewhere is no indicator of background and it can’t be used to demonstrate an otherwise unprovable hypothesis while it’s true that immigration is an important issue and it’s valid to have concerns about how it’s handled it’s crucial to make sure any claims about it are based in fact for more fact checks and news on elections across Europe head over to euronews.com
