PP Gathers Regional Leaders in Murcia to Advance Tougher Migration Plan With Limits on Immigrant Welfare

Feijóo presents a middle course to win back PSOE and Vox voters through stricter controls tied to assimilation norms.

Overview

  • Party officials say the Murcia document will include curbs on social benefits and the minimum income scheme for immigrants to avoid what they call a pull factor.
  • Feijóo’s five guidelines set the tone: a defined policy, the right to decide who enters and for what, expulsion for those who commit crimes, avoiding subsidies as a lifestyle, and preference for culturally close immigration.
  • Measures under debate include banning the niqab and burka in public spaces and specifying offenses that would trigger immediate expulsion, with emphasis on sexual crimes.
  • Vicesecretary Alma Ezcurra is drafting the plan as Miguel Tellado pledges to fight smuggling networks, expel offenders, and ensure those who stay embrace Spanish values.
  • The retreat also tackles equality, rural policy, transport, housing, and regional financing, with Tellado demanding accountability over failed anti‑abuse monitoring bracelets.
