Parliamentary discourses on migratory tragedies at the border between Morocco and Spain in 2021 and 202245 MAXQDA Coded Speeches at the Spanish congress of deputies regarding incidents in Ceuta and Melilla

Resumen

This database was the empirical basis for the article: Olivas Osuna, José Javier (2024). A fence of opportunity: on how Vox radical right populist narratives frame and fuel crises in the border between Spain and Morocco. Journal of Politics and Language (accepted 8 February 2024). It uses MAXQDA format. It includes the parliamentary speeches in Spain regarding two migratory incidents in Ceuta, May 2021, and Melilla, June 2022, when hundreds of people attempted to cross the fences that separate Morocco from Spain. Most of them were immediately deported, many injured, and several died. In this database syntactic units —sentences—are individually coded whenever they match the criteria corresponding to any of populism/anti-populism or re-bordering/de-bordering codes defined previously. See Olivas Osuna and Rama (2021) and Olivas Osuna (2022) for reference to the methodology. Overall, 2,014 segments were coded in a text corpus of 45 speeches and 78,870 words. The analyses cover the speeches of all parliamentary groups in the plenary sessions that debated the two abovementioned border crises in the Spanish Congress of Deputies (sessions on 26 May 2021, 23 June 2021, 25 June 2021, 9 March 2022, 29 June 2022, 30 November 2022 and December 2022), as well as the speeches of Vox leaders in other Congress sessions related to migration —i.e., proposals to suspend the concession of visas to citizens of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Mauritania (15 February 2022), to enact a formal declaration of the migratory crisis as a National Security situation (17 May 2022), to take urgent measures to against irregular migration (21 June 2022), and to introduce stricter residency requisites (20 December 2022).
