Pope Leo XIV concluded a week-long tour of Spain with a series of engagements in the Canary Islands focused on the systemic challenges of irregular migration.

教宗利奧十四世結束了為期一週的西班牙之行，最後在加那利群島參與了一系列活動，重點關注非法移民的系統性挑戰。

The pontiff's itinerary culminated in Tenerife and Gran Canaria, regions characterized as critical gateways for migrants from sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. During these visits, the Pope emphasized the concept of reciprocal integration, asserting that while host communities must provide sanctuary, migrants possess a concomitant obligation to adhere to local legislation and linguistic norms. This discourse occurred concurrently with the implementation of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, a legislative framework that has drawn criticism from human rights organizations for its potential to facilitate large-scale deportations to African territories.

教宗的行程在特內里費和大加那利島達到頂峰，這些地區被視為撒哈拉以南非洲與拉丁美洲移民進入的關鍵門戶。在這些訪問期間，教宗強調了「互惠融合」的概念，主張雖然接收社區必須提供庇護，但移民亦有相應義務，應遵守當地法律與語言規範。此番言論正值歐盟《移民與庇護公約》實施之際，而該法律框架因可能促進大規模將人遣返非洲領土，而受到人權組織的批評。

Historically, the Atlantic route to the Canary Islands has been identified as one of the most lethal migration corridors. Data from the International Organization for Migration and Caminando Fronteras indicate significant mortality rates, with approximately 1,300 deaths recorded in the first half of 2026 alone. In response to these fatalities, Pope Leo XIV performed a symbolic gesture by casting a floral wreath into the sea at the port of Arguineguín, an area previously noted for severe overcrowding in 2020. He characterized the indifference of European states toward these 'unmarked graves' as an incongruence with claimed Christian values.

從歷史上看，前往加那利群島的大西洋航線一直被視為最危險的移民走廊之一。國際移民組織與 Caminando Fronteras 的數據顯示，死亡率極高，單在 2026 年上半年就記錄了約 1,300 宗死亡個案。為了回應這些死亡事件，教宗利奧十四世在 Arguineguín 港口將花圈擲入海中，做出象徵性舉動，而該地區在 2020 年曾因嚴重擁擠而受到關注。他將歐洲國家對這些「無名墳墓」的冷漠，形容為與其宣稱的基督教價值觀不符。

Furthermore, the pontiff addressed the operational role of criminal networks, describing human traffickers as 'industries of death.' He demanded the cessation of these activities, citing divine justice as the ultimate arbiter for those who exploit vulnerable populations. Beyond the immediate crisis of migration, the Pope's final engagements touched upon the socio-economic pressures of mass tourism and meritocracy currently affecting the Canary archipelago. The visit concluded with a logistical delay due to aircraft technical failure, necessitating the use of a Spanish Army Falcon aircraft provided by King Felipe VI for the return to Rome.

此外，教宗亦針對犯罪網絡的運作發言，將人口販子形容為「死亡工業」。他要求停止這些活動，並引用神聖正義作為剝削弱勢群體者的最終審判。除立即性的移民危機外，教宗在最後的行程中亦觸及了目前影響加那利群島的大眾旅遊業與功績主義所帶來的社會經濟壓力。由於飛機技術故障導致行程延遲，最後由西班牙國王費利佩六世提供的西班牙陸軍 Falcon 飛機接送返回羅馬，行程才告一段落。

The visit ended with a call for international cooperation and a reaffirmation of the intrinsic dignity of migrants, regardless of national origin.

訪問在呼籲國際合作以及重新肯定移民內在尊嚴（不論國籍）的號召中結束。
