Feijóo proposes to expel legal migrants “repeat offenders” for crimes “even if they are mild”

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, assured this Sunday that if he arrives at the Government, he will reform the law to expel migrants with legal residence in Spain who comment “Reincident crimes even if they are mild”. This has been announced in Murcia, where he has gathered throughout the weekend with the regional presidents of his party. Feijóo had promised that today the full document would make public with its anti -immigration measures, but in the end it has limited itself to repeating some pieces that it had already reported reiterating its accusations against an indeterminate number of immigrants that, they said, they arrive in Spain to “ask for aid”.

In his career to cover the escape of votes to Vox, the leader of the PP has raised immigration in recent months as the main problem that Spain has. It is the one who dedicates more speeches and where his position has most pierced since he landed in Madrid as head of the opposition in April 2022. This Sunday he has reiterated the framework that the extreme European right like the most and that has ended up lifting the ultras parties to the detriment of the most classic rights.

“Well managed immigration is an opportunity, but poorly managed, it is a source of division,” he said, to add that it is “an uncontrolled challenge” to which he has promised to put a preserve with five little specific measures.

“We are not going to give up controlling our borders,” he said. “We have the right to say who enters and with what conditions,” he added. Feijóo has tried to place himself at an intermediate point between the PSOE and Vox, and added: “Nor do you have to throw them all.” According to the leader of the PP, some of those migrants are “people with dignity, responsible for their actions, with rights and duties.”

“They are not victims who are not owners of their actions, as the PSOE, or criminals says, as Vox says. Neither of the two extremes is true,” he said. “Neither regularize everyone nor throw the sea,” he said, to claim “order and apply legality.”

Feijóo has directly relate migrants directly with citizen insecurity. Despite the data that, year after year, confirm that crime in Spain is down, especially the most serious crimes, the PP leader has assured that, if it governs, it will have “zero tolerance with the crime.”

“Serious crimes will imply that the right of residence is lost,” he said. And he added: “The repeat offenders, even if they are mild, cannot be rewarded with permanence in Spain. If they do not comply with the law, they will leave the country.”

From the visa “by points” to the mantra of “the aid”

The PP leader has already begun to relate crime and immigration last year, within the framework of the Catalan, first, and European elections, later. Genoa’s strategists decided to assume ultra discourse before the electoral thrust of forces such as Catalan, Vox or Salf, which have made the migration issue the axis of their speech.

Since then, and despite the fact that surveys only show a growth of the most extreme options, the PP has chosen to delve into that speech. In the recent National Congress of Julio, where Feijóo was re -elected as president of the party, some ideas have already launched. “Immigration does not give white letter to commit crimes,” he said.

This Sunday, Feijóo has recovered a proposal that has already carried in the elections of July 2023: establish a “points visa”. Feijóo has specified that its concrete referents in this matter are Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, where they have considered using islands or ships on the high seas as prisons in areas without laws to strip migrants of their minimum rights.

The “Point Visa” will allow “rewarding the entry of those who want to work in sectors with a lack of labor, know the culture better and have greater integration capacity,” he explained. “It will compute the commitment of countries of origin with immigration policy,” added as theoretical novelty. “If countries of origin help order, they will be rewarded,” he said, without specifying what this reward will consist. “And they will not have visa the people who come from the countries who do not commit to maintain order,” he concluded.

Feijóo has also incorporated another of the mantras that fill the ultra agenda against migrants: social aid. The PP already approved in July a political presentation that assured: “irregularity cannot generate rights.” Feijóo has advanced along that path in Murcia.

“Contributing is a condition to remain,” he said. “The current system is not reasonable” because “anyone can enter illegally and without the willingness to work, register, ask for roots without permanence or contract requirements, and then ask for aid such as the minimum vital income,” he said.

Feijóo has sustained before the majority of its regional presidents and several hundred people who “many thousands” of people are in this situation. eldiario.es has tried that the PP offer the concrete data on which this statement bases, but Feijóo team sources have refused to explain them. “We have them [los datos] And we will be delighted that the Ministry can deny us, ”they have limited themselves to clearing.

“It’s a nonsense,” he said. “It cannot generate more rights without contract than with a contract,” he added, to conclude that “the minimum vital income must be linked to the active job search.” Feijóo has assured that there are migrants whose “purpose” is to turn these aid “into the only means of life.” “And those who abuse cannot obscure the work of so many immigrant people who arrived from other countries in recent decades, who have prospered through their effort, their work, and who have also contributed to Spain thriving.”

Message to women, nor Gaza word

Feijóo has gathered throughout the weekend with its regional barons with command in Plaza, in a format that has already used three times. After the Declaration of Córdoba and that of Asturias, this Sunday they have signed the so -called “Declaration of Murcia”, presented in an act this Sunday of which the Andalusian President, Juan Manuel Moreno, that of La Rioja, Gonzalo Capellán, and those of Ceuta and Melilla, Juan José Vivas and Juan José Imbroda have been absent.

In today’s speech, Feijóo wanted to launch an internal unity message on the PP. “We will continue to be together,” he said, “we will continue to face the challenges together,” he added, to point out: “There are nuances and accents, but there is a common course for Spain in which we all recognize ourselves.”

“Spain has a solution, it is not a failed state,” said Feijóo, who has promised “truth in front of a government that lies”, “honesty against generalized corruption”, “equality in front of the grievances” and “management of real problems in front of smoke curtains.”

That “smoke curtain” is, for Feijóo, the denunciation of genocide in Gaza. The PP has been pointing out that the Government of Pedro Sánchez is only taking measures against Israel to divert the focus of its internal problems.

This Sunday, in almost 40 minutes of public intervention, Alberto Núñez Feijóo has not said a single word on Gaza.

Feijóo has talked about the recent government crisis for the failures in the antimaltratic bracelets. “Incompetence, women have not been fought victims of sexist violence,” he said. “It is wrong that it has happened, that it has been hidden for months,” he said. “But what has happened these days is inadmissible,” he said.

The leader of the PP has accused the government of “not to bend the head” and say that the accusations are “unfounded.” Feijóo has cast in the face that the Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, has not had “a word of apology for the women to whom she has unprotected.” “Is this feminism?” He asked.

Feijóo has addressed “all the women of Spain, vote who they vote.” “They asked you for the vote and unprotected the most vulnerable victims. They asked you for the vote and released sexual aggressors. They asked you for the vote and the violations have increased 231% since the year 2018. They asked you for the vote and the violet points contracts were asked. “No, this is not the most feminist government. If perhaps, it is the most hypocritical and most dangerous government against women.”
