Immigration repeats like main problem for the Spanishaccording to the October Barometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS), with 28.1% mentions. They follow him the economic crisiswith 23.8%, and the dwellingwhich has risen seven points compared to the previous month and reaches 22.7%.
As experts already explained to Publicone of the reasons why migration appears as one of the main concerns of Spanish society has to do with the way in which the CIS itself designs its questionnaires. “Current issues, which change over time, should be left for last. The order of the questions is key, as are the formulation and number of answers,” political scientist Alejandro Solís explained then.
Furthermore, racism and criminalization by the press, which frames migration in a negative reviewwould also have contributed to “generating uncertainties and manufactured problems,” said sociolinguist Laura Camargo.
The study, released this Monday, was carried out between October 1 and 11, ending one day after the publication of the report from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard on the Koldo case. In addition, the polls were closed before the demonstrations on October 13 in Madrid and the current encampment in Valencia, which demand the reduction of rental prices.
Unemployment appears in fourth place with 22% of mentions, followed by political problems with 18.6%. Sixthly, problems related to the quality of employment are mentioned by 13.9% of those surveyed.
