The Supreme Court has decided to postpone until next May 22 the hearing scheduled to study the requests for provisional suspension of the royal decree that promotes the extraordinary regularization of migrants approved by the Government, while the high court analyzes the merits of the appeal.
According to a ruling that Europa Press has had access to, the Contentious-Administrative Chamber postpones the hearing, which was initially scheduled for this Wednesday, alleging service needs.
Among the parties involved who are demanding the precautionary suspension of the Executive's measure are Hazte Oír, the Association for Historical Reconciliation and Truth, Libertad y Justicia, Vox, and the Community of Madrid.
Representing the Government, the State Attorney's Office is scheduled to appear, which argues that the regularization should not be halted, considering that it would entail "direct harm to the rights of the interested foreign persons and, therefore, to the general interest," as stated in a written submission consulted by Europa Press.
Hazte Oír demanded the provisional suspension of the royal decree from the Supreme Court, understanding that it exceeds legal margins and "structurally alters the State's migratory policy, with direct and lasting effects."
Along the same lines, the Association for Reconciliation and Historical Truth appreciated "certain risk of irreparable harm" derived from the initiative of Pedro Sánchez's Executive, the "processing of an extraordinary volume of requests", the "generation of individualized legal situations" or the "granting of residence and work permits".
Vox maintained, in the words of its leader Ignacio Garriga, that "what is going to happen is the legalization and institutionalization of the migratory invasion" and "a very clear message to the world, which is that coming kicking down the door has a reward in Spain".
For its part, the regional Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso based its appeal on the fact that the norm impacts "gravely the provision of Madrid's public services without articulating financing and provision of means mechanisms", in addition to "contravening" European Union regulations and "affecting" security.
The central government of Pedro Sánchez gave the green light in April to the royal decree, which will benefit 250,000 asylum seekers and another 250,000 people in an irregular administrative situation, according to sources from the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations.
That same month, the Supreme Court requested from the Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts the complete "administrative file" of the regularization royal decree in order to rule on the precautionary measures and, subsequently, on the merits of the case.
