Overview

• Alberto Núñez Feijóo presented a ten-point national plan in Barcelona on October 14 that the PP frames as a shift to management and enforcement.
• The plan creates a points-based visa assessing age, education, work experience, language, civic integration and contribution, with channels for strategic hires, shortage sectors and a transitory route for those already in Spain to seek jobs.
• Long-term residence would hinge on contribution, work and integration rather than time alone, the padrón would be confined to statistical use, and non-urgent benefits would require legal residency with the minimum income benefit tied to active job seeking.
• Spanish nationality standards would rise to a B2 language level with reinforced tests on institutional, legal, cultural and historical knowledge.
• Measures include a proposed Autoridad Única, 72-hour age verification for unaccompanied minors with penalties for fraud, and automatic expulsions or residency revocations for links to criminal organizations or serious crimes; Vox praised the rhetoric but said it doubts the PP will implement it.
