A new chapter in Spanish migration policy
The recent approval of an extraordinary regularisation of immigrants by the Council of Ministers has generated strong rejection from the Popular Party in Madrid. The party's secretary general, Alfonso Serrano, has described this measure as "irregular and unnecessary," arguing that it is not only questionable from a legal standpoint but also linked to judicial scandals affecting the environment of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez.
Serrano has expressed concern about how this decision could negatively impact social coexistence and generate new migration problems. According to his statements, the regularisation could act as a "call to new irregularities" and put additional pressure on public services, which could result in a "lamentable situation" for essential resources.
In line with the criticisms made by the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the Popular Party has decided to take this matter to the courts. The intention is to request a precautionary suspension of the measure while its legality is assessed. This action aims to halt its immediate implementation and avoid potential negative repercussions before definitive decisions are made.
Serrano did not stop there; he also accused the central Government of using the population census for "spurious and political purposes," suggesting that this regularisation is a desperate attempt to divert public attention from other more serious problems facing the Executive. In his words, not even ten massive regularisations could hide what he considers an unprecedented scandal: the fact that Begoña Gómez, the wife of President Sánchez, is involved in multiple judicial processes.
As this debate progresses, it is clear that tensions between the central and regional Governments are far from resolved. The lack of sufficient institutional backing for this initiative has been one of the points most criticised by Serrano, who argues that it goes against even the criteria of the Council of State and lacks the necessary support from European Institutions.
As these events unfold, both citizens and experts will be watching closely how this judicial battle evolves and what implications it will have for Spanish migration policy in the coming months.
