Overview

• The Joint Congress–Senate commission approved the motion by 20 votes to 15, with 18 from the Partido Popular and two from Vox against opposition parties.
• The approved text asks the Tribunal de Cuentas to examine expenditures by the central government, autonomous communities and local entities related to "inmigración ilegal."
• PP representative Pilar Alía said her party would not oppose learning how public funds are used in this area, framing the vote as a push for transparency.
• Vox argued irregular arrivals impose a heavy cost on public finances, while PSOE and Sumar condemned the initiative as racist and accused Vox of stoking resentment.
• The move is part of a coordinated Vox strategy in national and regional parliaments, alongside a separate proposal to audit spending on unaccompanied foreign minors.
