Overview

• Moncloa and the PSOE condemned the proposals as xenophobic and contrary to human rights, with minister Félix Bolaños calling the expulsion pledge “clearly xenophobic.”
• The PP will gather this weekend in Murcia with regional leaders to finalize its migration plan, which remains a set of party proposals rather than law and would require national action.
• Feijóo detailed priorities that include preference for culturally proximate migrants, residency contingent on formal employment, and expulsions for sexual crimes or repeated offenses even for legal residents.
• The push follows a sharp increase on the Balearic route from Algeria, with PP figures citing more than 5,500 arrivals and over 300 small boats compared with under 1,000 arrivals in 2017.
• The policy clash widens as Vox’s Disenso foundation promotes a report claiming negative fiscal impacts from low‑paid migration and the Government readies a campaign titled “Migración, Fuente de Riqueza.”
