PSOE–Junts Plan to Delegate Migration Powers to Catalonia Poised to Fall in Congress

Podemos’ rejection over what it calls a racist approach gives the right enough votes to block the initiative.

Overview

  • Míriam Nogueras of Junts defended the bill and described migration as a problem affecting Catalan identity while arguing immigrants receive a large share of public aid that leaves many working‑class Catalans out.
  • PSOE deputy Pepe Zaragoza insisted the measure is a constitutional delegation rather than a transfer of powers and framed it as institutional collaboration.
  • An alliance of PP, Vox, UPN, four Podemos deputies and a Compromís MP is reported to be sufficient to sink the proposal at the take‑into‑consideration vote.
  • PSOE and Junts maintained a public truce during the debate, focusing their criticism on the PP and Podemos as ERC and EH Bildu backed their position.
  • The government signaled it will keep pursuing greater self‑government for Catalonia despite the expected defeat of the migration competences bill.
