"It is urgent to accept refugees, but that has to be done in a way that is compatible with security," said Diaz, who added that the "official goodness" of other parties should not be allowed to lift the "shadows of suspicion," which he believes hangs over the refugees.
There are "threats," warned the minister, who said he had information "about robberies of blank Syrian passports," which could be used by members of DAESH (IS) to help infiltrate Spain or other European nations.
Fernandez Diaz commented that although he was not questioning the EU quota of refugees and that Spain would "accept the refugees that the European Commission has assigned to us," he would insist that "the appropriate measures to guarantee the security that Spanish society requires" would be adopted.
