Overview

• Alberto Núñez Feijóo and PP regional leaders signed a 16‑page Murcia declaration outlining a points‑based visa that favors applicants for shortage jobs, Spanish language and cultural knowledge, integration capacity, and cooperation by countries of origin.
• Feijóo pledged zero tolerance for crime by foreign nationals, stating that serious offenses would cost the right to remain and that repeated minor offenses would also trigger expulsions.
• The proposals tighten access to non‑contributory benefits such as the Ingreso Mínimo Vital to holders of long‑term residence and seek to tie long‑term residency to effective Social Security contributions.
• The package raises integration demands by emphasizing language and civic knowledge, and PP signals making mechanisms like arraigo and family reunification exceptional rather than routine.
• The party also urges the central government to take direct responsibility and funding for unaccompanied migrant minors and to facilitate returns or family reunification when data allow, citing strain in the Canary Islands.
