The script that has been widely followed is as follows: — An open first part. — Second part: retake what they have said and set up discussion plans: neighborhood coexistence, access to public services, education, housing, health and social services, work, unemployment and employment aids, the current crisis and immigration, security, religion and culture. — Third part: that immigrants contribute to Spain, to the Spaniards. — Fourth part: system of differences between the two groups of immigrants. Investigate the reasons for the differences. — Fifth part: What is meant by integration? To work? Speaking the language, paying taxes? Accept norms and values? Vote in the elections? — Sixth part: immigration measures: contracts at origin, family regroupings. Municipal vote. — Seventh part: image of political forces and the treatment of immigration.
