The ILP for regularization of migrants, which the Lower House admitted for processing in April, is currently in full swing. parliamentary negotiation. The road is – and has been – tortuous. First, it was blocked at the Congressional Table about half a year. Finally, Add managed to start PSOE an agreement to clear up the matter. The next step was to enter the parliamentary committee, where a sufficient majority must be achieved to agree on a text that will later be voted definitively in plenary session. That is the current scenario.
Who is behind the ILP from the first moment is the association Regularization NOW. From the beginning, they have put pressure on the different parliamentary groups to bring the ILP, now converted into a bill, to the final vote in the Lower House before the end of the year. Now, in addition, they explain that the crisis triggered by DANA is an extra reason to speed up procedureswho consider that they are taking longer than necessary.
“We are concerned that the catastrophe that has taken place in Valencia and other territories will leave out of aid to all the people who do not have their situation regularized in Spain,” he explains, in conversation with PubicVicky Canalla, the association’s spokesperson.
The numbers, in that sense, are drastic. The person in charge of Oxfam Intermón’s Zero Inequality program, Raquel Czechencrypted in an article in the newspaper 20 minutes in 41,000 people those that are in that situation only in the city of Valencia. Canalla reaffirms this and points out that those from the rest of the territory of the Country Valencia affected, Castile-La Mancha either Andalusia.
There is, therefore, a rush. Canalla points out what he considers a certain “hypocrisy” with government aid that can leave out thousands of people who, in reality, “are the most vulnerable.”
In any case, as this media has learned from several deputies involved in the negotiation, an agreement does not seem close. People’s Party (PP) and Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) introduced amendments that link regularization to labor contracts. It is something that does not go along the lines pursued by both the promoters of the ILP and the leftist formations, who want such regularization. little restrictive as possible. Togetherfor its part, conditions its support on the transfer of migration powers.
The danger of the Immigration Regulation
In parallel to the negotiation of the ILP, a reform of the Immigration Regulations ―which, in principle, will increase the facilities for people arriving in Spain to access a residence permit― and there is concern that it will become a double-edged sword. Vicky Canalla insists that “it makes no sense to approve the new regulations without set the counter to zero“. It refers to the fact that it is necessary to first undertake the regularization of 500,000 migrants and then approve this regulatory reform.
The danger that hangs over the negotiation, judging by what sources say, in this case, from Republican Left of Catalonia knowing about it, is that the Socialist Party ends up accepting the reform of the Immigration Regulation and avoiding the approval of the regularization itself. It’s something Canalla doesn’t even want to consider.
In any case, things at the moment revolve around a struggle. On the one hand, there is an option – the one defended by PP and PNV – which is to link regularization to the employment contracts. On the other hand, leftist groups defend that it be as least restrictive as possible. All of this, and that is also relevant, within the framework of immigration policies of the European Union increasingly restrictive.
