The president of the Madrid Business Confederation-CEOE (CEIM), Miguel Garrido, has branded the extraordinary regularization of immigrants as a "short-term fix" and has called for medium and long-term technical planning, based on the "real needs" of the economy.
"The regularization approved by the Government is a short-term fix, without planning and without consensus, which responds more to a populist logic than to a serious and structural migratory policy," he stated this Tuesday in statements to Europa Press.
Without the criterion of the Autonomous Communities
Just like the president of CEOE, Antonio Garamendi, this morning, Garrido has lamented that this decision has not been "negotiated" either in the Congress of Deputies or with the autonomous communities, which are the ones that manage the "main affected public services". He also criticized that it is not linked to specific job offers or training pathways, "as did happen in previous processes".
"Spain needs medium and long-term technical planning, based on the real needs of the economy and coordinated with employment, education, health, and housing policies, without forgetting that we still have more than 3.5 million unemployed people who must be a priority for any labor policy", he pointed out.
From the Madrid employers' association they consider that regularizing "without reinforcing public services, without social dialogue and without an integral approach" only generates "more uncertainty" and conveys a "false sense" of solution to a "complex problem".
