Overview
- Movement leader Lara Hernández demanded that more than 500,000 undocumented migrants be regularized before October ends as a direct response to the PP’s tougher immigration platform.
- Party sources say talks are under way inside the government on a possible real decreto to bypass Congress, replicating the 2005 approach used under José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
- Moncloa sources told La Razón they do not see a decree as viable and prefer advancing the long-blocked Popular Legislative Initiative instead.
- The ILP, admitted in April 2024 with broad initial backing, has been paralyzed by party disagreements, with a decree seen by Sumar as a way to avoid needing Junts’ support.
- Vice-President Yolanda Díaz called the PP model “authentically unconstitutional” and pressed for swift regularization to guarantee labor rights for migrants already living in Spain.
