As of 2021, about half of respondents have heard or read on multiple occasions that unaccompanied foreign minors (known in Spain as MENAS) are a dangerous collective and that they have a tendency towards violence. Furthermore, over a third of Spaniards claimed to have heard repeatedly that these minors are beneficiaries of large public aid and enjoy preference over Spanish citizens. These findings reveal a xenophobic bias concerning unaccompanied foreign children in part of the Spanish media and social networks.
