The Popular Party signs in Congress the hardening of its discourse in immigration. And by Vox. This Tuesday, the PP deputies have voted in favor of a proposal of law presented by the ultra -right with the intention of “restricting the regularization of illegal immigrants through roots.” With 168 yes, in front of 177, it is not taken into consideration of the norm, but it is a strategic movement by Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The opposition leader thus materializes, in the lower house and together with Santiago Abascal, the assumption of an argument close to the postulates of the ultras in this matter. It also implies for Genoa to walk in the opposite direction, which urges the great parties to already promote general regularization for half a million immigrants that was approved through the Popular Legislative Initiative (ILP) that was admitted to process a year ago, with the acquiescence of the popular. And then braking by the outbreak of the Cerdán case.
The taking into consideration of a law proposition is the first step to initiate the parliamentary process of a norm. The popular admit that the project presented by Vox “criminalizes the immigrant”, but at the same time they parapet that the vote on Tuesday is only a taking into consideration that has been traveled ahead. But, yes, they want to “open this debate” in Congress, although later, in the subsequent discussion, they register amendments to modify the text. In any case, and having declined the vote by not having enough votes, the PP is even meaning when they knew it would be defeated.
“The Government has renounced to protect its defending its borders. Illegal immigration is runaway (…) who comes to commit crimes, we tell him that here, no,” said popular deputy Maribel Sánchez. “For pure coherence with our coherence with our proposals we agree to open this debate. A debate about an issue that is the second concern for the Spaniards, from the PP we will not look the other way. But we also want to make it clear that we reject any hate speech,” added the popular parliamentarian on the gallery.
After the debate on Tuesday, the vote in favor of the popular is a new step of the PP towards the ideological framework of Vox, which insists on the statement of their proposition in the link between foreigners (especially Africans) with the commission of sexual crimes. The ultra -right proposes to modify the law and the regulations of foreigners hardening the requirements so that immigrants can access a work permit, a proposal that clashes with the latest legislative modifications that have pursued just the opposite: dissolve obstacles for foreigners who live and work in Spain can get out of the clandestinity and precariousness that entails not having papers.
Vox proposes to expand the assumptions of expulsion, an idea that Feijóo had already launched this summer, after Genoa included in the new one. The progressive hardening of the PP on this issue comes from months ago, for the thrust of the ultra -right. The vote is also produced after a week in which different public and private surveys have verified the fire triggered increase in intention to vote and the stagnation of the popular.
One of the keys to this text is that they pretend that the internment of foreigners in the CIE passes from a maximum of 60 to 180 days, arguing that one of the difficulties in expelling immigrants is the difficulty in locating them when the file is completed, when the true difficulty is the obstacles that countries of origin usually present to accept their nationals. Everything while Vox continues to fly as one of his main flags the fight against immigration, as he repeated during his great act of this weekend, now focused on supposed protection of women.
“But then they refuse to support laws that seek equality between men and women,” the PNV deputy Mikel Legarda has reproached him on the pnea, accusing Vox of torturer use of women’s rights at will. “They do not want free women, with you women are in danger,” the PSOE Luc Andre Diouf parliamentarian continued. UPN has abstained. All the formations of the investiture block have been shown against. Some of them, such as Bildu and Esquerra, have taken advantage of the Plenary to ask that the popular legislative initiative (ILP) of regularization of migrants be unchanged. In June, and after months saved in a drawer, the government reimpulsed the negotiation with the groups for a flexible regularization of immigrants with children and asylum seekers as a priority. But the report of the Central Operating Unit (UCO) on the former secretary of the PSOE Santos Cerdán’s organization stopped the conversations again. For its part, pn
