What Frontex recorded that month
Detections of irregular crossing on the two routes into Spain in May 2026. Not added to the Ministry's figure: they measure different things.
The most recent months are provisional: Frontex revises them in later releases, and the last bar tends to be incomplete. Note in Frontex's own file: “The data for the Western Mediterranean land route for 30 and 31 July are currently under review by the respective Member State and have not yet been included.”.
