Feijóo Unveils Hard-Line Migration Principles in Formentera Ahead of PP Plan

The announcement coincides with a Vox-linked report casting immigration as a fiscal burden that the government has formally disputed.

Overview

  • From Formentera, the PP leader outlined five pillars that include tighter borders, residency tied to a work contract, expulsions for sexual crimes and multirecidivists even for legal residents, a preference for culturally proximate entrants, and a warning that subsidies should not be a way of life.
  • Feijóo labeled the Balearic situation a crisis, citing an 80% rise in arrivals on the Algerian route and local figures showing hundreds of boats and thousands of people reaching the islands this year.
  • Regional PP president Marga Prohens pressed for resources and operational clarity as reception systems strain, while PSOE leaders in the islands condemned the PP platform as xenophobic and harmful.
  • At the Congress of Deputies, Vox’s Fundación Disenso presented a study asserting a net negative fiscal impact from immigration, claiming positive contribution only above roughly €45,000 in annual income.
  • The Ministry of Inclusion issued a formal rebuttal, stating it is false that immigration’s overall cost exceeds its contribution and pointing to analyses that find a net positive impact, as the PP prepares to finalize its full plan this weekend in Murcia.
