I removed this text "Despite his political party's strong anti-immigration stance, Garriga has made comments in support of immigrants in Spain as he himself is of immigrant descent" not supported by the El Confidencial ref. Vox's stance is against illegal immigration, not legal immigration, which is what Garriga is saying in the interview. The ref does not emphasise or even mention an inherent contradiction or try to use his being a descendant of immigrants as a weapon against him. ♫ RichardWeisstalkcontribs 19:18, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
