Feijóo Pledges to Declassify Files on Spain’s Mass Migrant Regularization

The pledge challenges the government’s reliance on state secrecy in a major immigration move.

Overview

  • Feijóo, speaking in Ceuta on Saturday, called the secrecy claim a “mockery” and vowed to open all files in his first week if he governs.
  • He labeled the plan to legalize roughly one million undocumented migrants an “irresponsibility” that he says defies votes in the Cortes and European criteria.
  • He argued the policy breeds “insecurity” and “lack of control” by signaling that sea crossings or fence jumps can lead to entry into Spain.
  • The government has classified key papers as state secrets, leaving the public unsure how many people will benefit or what the eligibility rules are.
  • Ceuta was cast as a model of integration and order, with Feijóo saying newcomers who contribute are welcome, which he contrasted with national policy.
