Regularization for the blind, business for the mafia

On June 27 last year, the Council of Ministers decided to urgently introduce a massive regularization of foreigners. Without going through Congress. Without prior public consultation. Until one part, a certain company, many loving people.

El Gobierno says 500,000. Funcas estimates 840,000. The police force is 1,250,000, not including family groups. Out of proportion.

The first thing that needs attention is urgency.

Article 27 of the Government Act requires extremely short circumstances to justify the actual regulation of these characteristics, but the popular legislative initiative that inspires this measure was taken into account in April 2024, for a period of two years.

Urgency therefore does not yield to anything that is unpredictable, up to the political calendar. Y has a very specific goal: to discuss a parliamentary debate.

That alone would be enough to render this regulation illegitimate.

But the content is even worse than the form.

The water bottle turned out to connect two access routes.

1. The first step allows international protection lawyers to obtain an arraigo without the permanency requirement.

The problem is that Article 126 of the Extraordinary Regulation has only one exclusive year, namely this calculation period, and requires not being an applicant for international protection to access the claim.

In its decision 414/2024, the Supreme Tribunal decided: the residence of the asylum seeker is a mere tolerance, without residency qualification.

And EU Regulation 2024/1348 confirms this: the right to permanence in processing applications they do not constitute a residence permit.

It is decided that the borrador adheres to consolidated doctrine and a widely accepted European standard by regulatory means.

2. The second trip requires five months of residence without specifying which documents are valid (no one can be mistaken) and without requiring them to be nominative: we assume they are valid with a Burger King receipt.

It is clear that such a lax, vague mark encourages documentary fraud.

Here is the question of money, which the government solves by making the drug not have the same cost for other administrations.

Hundreds of thousands of people need to be trained, educated for their children, cared for in health centers, signed up for employee services and asked for services. All this is paid by autonomous communities and helpers, which are the people who run health, education and services.

However, since the government does not sign these bills, it is concluded that they have no costs. Brilliant.

But it’s not just what the governor’s decree requires; after all, it would still be scandalous what you should expect.

“Unlike all previous modifications, this authorization is not tied to a business contract, job offer or any economic activity”

Because, unlike all previous regularizations (from 1986 to 2005), this authorization is not tied to a commercial contract, employment offer or any economic activity. This takes practice. No idiom.

Even worse: it presupposes the vulnerability of any person in an irregular situation at the time they find themselves in it, in a way that turns irregularity into an enabling qualification.

Oh, and only with in-process approval (process action, not resolution) can you stay and work for five days.

Ultimately, if the Administration overflows (and will overflow), the result is automatic regularization.

To complete the framework, the provider requests the accreditation of third sector entities through the electronic register of external collaborators provided for in Article 197.4.c) of Royal Decree 1155/2024, the creation of which depends on a ministerial regulation that does not yet exist: The public audience sought only one day, February 10, and the detailed story has not yet been published.

The drill is said to be using a tool without the current regulatory standard.

You will find something different with criminal antecedents. Gobierno ensures strict appearance and is queda in eso, appearance.

First, five months of residence is not enough to impose a fixed sentence in Spain.

Therefore, a certificate is required from the country of origin, but not from transit countries.

And if it is certified within three days, it is replaced by a responsible statement, which has the task of accrediting the existing documentation, not compensating for its absence.

The mere submission of a summons paralyzes the expedientes expedientes for a short time, given that the sanctioning regime is recognized in the organic law, which the actual decree cannot suspend.

Everything you imagine is against the European Pact on Migration and Asylum of 2024. It is a system with a perverse logic: the most lax, the most attractive; the more attractive, the more migratory presence; more pressure, less control.

Traffic reports are marketed with this regulation. Active routes from the UK, France and Italy were identified, with an estimated 200,000 to 250,000 secondary movements from other Schengen countries.

In short, what the government presents as an act of humanity For the mafia, it’s a redundant business in practice.

It is enough to mention the reaction of Cataluña and País Vasco. Ambas introduced the delegation, yes.

However, while the autonomous communities and cities governed by the People’s Party raised objections regarding services, citizen safety or even legal matters, the government Salvador Illa AND Immanuel Pradales they limited themselves to asking that Catalan and Euskera count as arraiga criteria.

No words about hospitals. Not one through college. Not a security measure.

subsequently It is legitimate to question your priority and look for your citizens or your partner in the world.

So all communities and autonomous citizens, led by the People’s Party, asked the government to abolish borders and convene a Sectoral Conference on Immigration.

He now holds the post of State Councilor.

And this is not an ideological or a political question. At stake is the state’s own ability to enforce its own rules.

If an actual ordinance can loosen the organic law, if the irregularity is incorporated into the law, and if controls are replaced by responsible declarations, the problem is not migratory: it is institutional.
