Feijóo reinforces his criticism of the Government's migration policy: "There is no country that can resist from a social, welfare, and cultural point of view"

The president of the Partido Popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has hardened his discourse this Thursday on the Government's migratory policy by assuring that Spain "is not prepared" and "there is no country that can resist migration from a social, welfare, and cultural point of view." During his speech at the summer courses of the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP), he accused the Executive of managing immigration "without planning and without a State policy" and demanded a strategy that, in his opinion, guarantees security, coexistence, and border control.

In the same event, Feijóo extended his criticisms to the nationality policy promoted by the Executive through what is known as the 'Grandchildren's Law'. The popular leader questioned the scope of this process and warned that accessing nationality also implies the recognition of rights such as healthcare, educational aid, or certain social benefits. "It is giving them the rights that Spaniards who have contributed, who have worked in our country for many decades, have," he stated.

According to him, the number of applications for this 'Democratic Memory Law' exceeds 2.6 million files, a figure that, in his opinion, requires preparing an economic report before moving forward with the process. "Evidently, we say no to that," he expressed.

The Government defends extraordinary regularization

According to the latest data released by 'Cadena SER', the regularization process has accumulated nearly 1.17 million applications and has a resolution rate of over 50% of the registered files.

The extraordinary regularization process promoted by the Executive was aimed at foreigners who already resided in Spain before January 1 and lacked a residence and work permit. The Government has defended this measure as a response to the country's demographic and labor needs, as well as a way to bring out employment and guarantee rights to people who are already part of Spanish society.

Coinciding with the closing of the deadline for submitting applications, Pedro Sánchez defended the initiative through a message published on the social network X, where he described the measure as "an act of normalization" and "an act of justice with our own history," recalling that Spain was also a country of emigrants for decades.
