PP Moves to Strip Residency From Immigrants With Criminal or Violent‑Radical Ties

Feijóo will detail the broader, points‑based proposal in Barcelona next week.

Overview

  • Alma Ezcurra said immigrants identified with "criminal links" or "violent‑radical links" would automatically lose their residency status.
  • Party sources indicated the measure is intended to target people tied to terrorism, arms trafficking or organized gangs.
  • The plan advances a points‑based visa system that gives positive weight to Spanish language proficiency and cultural ties with Hispanoamérica.
  • PP leaders framed the approach as a middle ground between PSOE’s perceived leniency and Vox’s hard line, pledging solidarity with lawful workers and firmness against offenders.
  • Ezcurra cited Ecuadorian entrepreneur Nelly Elizalde in Madrid as the kind of immigrant the party seeks to attract, with full details slated for Tuesday’s presentation in Barcelona.
