Overview

• PP leaders unveiled the Murcia Declaration, a tougher migration platform signed by regional presidents that includes a points-based visa, limits on access to the Minimum Vital Income for newcomers who do not contribute, and expedited expulsions for offenders.
• Vox accuses Alberto Núñez Feijóo of copying its rhetoric for electoral gain, calling the Murcia event a staged act and labeling the PP’s shift an “estafa” to voters.
• Santiago Abascal and party spokespeople say the PP “demonizes” Vox and argue the PP will fall into contradictions by trying to stake out a middle position between PSOE and Vox.
• PP officials reject those attacks, with Alma Ezcurra saying Vox is worried and defending the declaration as a lawful, ordered and humane state alternative.
• In Madrid, Vox will bring a nonbinding motion to the regional assembly on Thursday pushing mass expulsions and repatriation of unaccompanied minors, a move intended to test Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s PP, which contends the region lacks the needed powers.
