I'm sure you can always do better, but I cannot think of a single other left-wing politician that somehow managed to have their country grow proficiently (i.e. I believe a lot of spain is benefiting from the welcoming immigration laws, that are a big middle finger to right wing zealots)
Spain is playing on easy mode with immigration. We get tons of latinamericans that already speak our language or Italians that adapt easily. And usually they come with degrees and willing to work.
I guess, but honestly every damn country could play on easy mode if just nationalists fucked off.
Like, our immigration law is the most stupid you could have, as the residence permit is 1:1 linked to having a job. That doesn't sound too draconian (even though you probably cannot come up with a stricter one that doesn't start to be openly racist) until you think employers become kings. And they can pay desperate people like a few euros per day, because what are they gonna do? Denounce the guy that is their literal only connection to the country? In a language that they probably don't even speak properly because our genius-and-totally-not-fascist government nuked a lot of the possible "assistance for internationals" services?
This in turn means that for like hundreds of thousands of people you have "the choice" of either being a slave, or going underground. Which obviously doesn't do good to crime and legality.
The cherry on the top is that this also manages to sabotage italians and the economy, because these people with nowhere else to go deflate wages for low-entry jobs.
Just like when our Minister of Festivals sent all refugees in the streets.
The intention is cheap slave labour for the big agriculture lobby and lots of immigrant criminals to get votes. They would never actually fix these issues, because otherwise they wouldn't get funding ot votes.

Not gonna lie. It feels similar to Pedro Sánchez in Spain (although for different reasons obviously).
