AB Introduction: In the last year the migratory phenomenon related to Unaccompanied Foreign Minors(hereinafter UFM) has obtained a special media coverage in the Spanish context, motivated, amongother issues, by the negative publicity towards this group that the far-right party Vox has used duringthe campaign for the Madrid elections of 2021. In the absence of previous literature, this researchaims to determine the representation that, on YouTube, is constructed and transmitted about the UFM. Methodology: An exploratory-descriptive study is proposed, in which content analysis and criticaldiscourse analysis are used to examine the most popular videos, in the proposed social network, underthe UFM-Spain label. Results: A characterization of the UFM prevails based on subjectivity, the useof a pejorative, denigrating and incriminating language that revolves around the association of theseminors with the concept of threat. Discussion: The findings are consistent with previous research thatanalyzes the migratory phenomenon as a whole, but it represents a novelty in terms of the analysisof the specific typology of migrants that constitute the UFM, whose representation through social networkshas not yet been explored at the academic level. Conclusions: The content posted on this socialnetwork contributes to spreading hate speech towards the UFM, mainly on the basis of oversizing theconflict and homogenizing the collective around negative attributes.
