This Thursday, the process has been launched to carry out the extraordinary regularization of people in an irregular situation in Spain. However, from Junts they consider that, by not including knowledge of the Catalan language, as one of the requirements to process legal residency, “various directives” would be violated and “a co-official language” would be marginalized.

Given this, the Catalan party will take several initiatives to try to “correct” these facts, with the help of a legal department that will carry out the filing of a complaint before the European institutions for the “violation of various directives and the marginalization of a co-official language as an integration criterion”.

From the party whose Congress spokesperson is Miriam Nogueras, they criticize that the decree excludes Catalan and, furthermore, they add that, the website of the Ministerio de Inclusión, Seguridad y Migraciones nor the renewal procedures are available in the language they defend.

“The Spanish Government, once again, has opted for a decree-law that could neither be amended nor voted on in Congress and externalizes all problems towards the city councils, which are overwhelmed, without funding and administrative capacity to address this guarantee process,” their criticisms continue.

In the same way, they charge against the president of the Government, Salvador Illa, whom they accuse of having “deceived the Catalans” and that the existence of the Ministry of Linguistic Policy is “pure facade”.
