Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Popular Party (PP), has unveiled the core principles of his party's upcoming migration plan during a meeting in Formentera with police unions and Civil Guard associations. The proposal represents a significant hardening of the opposition party's migration stance, with Feijóo declaring that "the good-natured model of integration has failed" and advocating for a system based on "merit and adaptation" similar to those in other European countries.
The most notable aspect of the PP's proposed policy involves prioritizing immigration from "culturally close" countries, specifically highlighting Hispanic American nations over those from other regions such as Africa. Feijóo described Hispanic heritage as "not just a label but a claim," emphasizing shared social bonds, language connections, and behavioral patterns that he believes should receive "positive discrimination." The party leader asserted Spain's right to choose "who enters, how they enter, and for what purpose they enter."
Another key component of the plan links immigration status directly to employment stability. Feijóo committed to connecting both "arrival" and "maintenance of residence" in Spain to having a "work contract," arguing that the country's migration model should respond to "economic sufficiency" rather than subsidies funded by Spanish taxpayers. The proposal includes expelling foreigners who commit crimes, regardless of their documentation status, with particular emphasis on sexual offenses.
The migration crisis has become a central political issue, with Feijóo blaming the current situation on what he called the "irresponsibility and neglect" of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government. The PP leader cited dramatic increases in migrant arrivals in the Balearic Islands, noting that while fewer than 100 boats carrying under 1,000 migrants arrived in 2017, already 300 boats with over 5,000 migrants have been recorded by July of this year. Feijóo plans to finalize the migration plan details during a weekend summit in Murcia with regional PP leaders.
