The former vice president of the Government and former general secretary of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, starred last Wednesday in a viral confrontation with Vito Quiles in the middle of the street in Zaragoza, after the agitator heckled him as he left a political event. Following the line of the self-proclaimed journalist's usual procedure, he once again crosses the line and harasses Pablo Iglesias until he formulates an illogical question, but one that has gone viral: "What do you think about your wife saying that she is going to replace right-wing people with illegal immigrants?". To which the former politician replied "fascist" and "pig" and tried to grab the microphone of 'EDA TV', the channel where Javier Negre works.
Stop crying and register the hooded thugs you have with you with social security. With what the PP pays you, it's more than enough. And yes, I hope to replace foreign business-owner fascists like you with decent people who work and don't live off PP handouts😘 https://t.co/mXDLHAfanq

Pablo's response provoked an interaction that followed Vito's reply on his personal X profile: "Today you couldn't knock the microphone out of my hand, man, you're losing your touch, man. Tell Irene to make you a Cola Cao before bed".
Debunking the Vito Quiles Hoax
As he has already accustomed us, Vito asked a question without any kind of coherence or legal or informational backing, but as always to awaken fear among social media users
From 'El Constitucional' we clarified that the hoax spread and propagated by the far-right about the extraordinary regularization of migrants in Spain and as Elon Musk already tried, the measure does not imply the the measure does not imply the automatic granting of residence permits nor an immediate legal change for the entire migrant population.
The extraordinary regularization agreement for migrants in Spain does not imply automatically granting them residence permits or political rights without meeting requirements; it is a process that will allow the situation of people already residing in the country to be legalized, with conditions such as proving time of residence, and it does not automatically grant any additional rights beyond what is provided for in current regulations.
