Translation:

"What I've said, especially in the Canary Islands, about respect for the individual: often we don't recognize the reasons why these people have had to leave their countries—whether due to violence, war, conflict, or many other reasons—and that's why we simply say, ‘We send them away, so to speak; we wash our hands of the problem.’ But that doesn't seem to me, let's say, to be the most Christian response, so to speak. We must truly respect every person, analyze each case, and, above all, treat people with respect—as people."
