Vox will bring to the Plenary Session of Congress this week a motion for the Chamber to urge the Government to annul the decrees that include the regularization of immigrants approved last Tuesday by the Council of Ministers, as well as the norm that reinforces universality in access to public healthcare, also demanding the repatriation of immigrants who are "illegally" in Spain.
The text, which Europa Press has had access to, includes several of the demands of Santiago Abascal's party and is presented as a consequence of the interpellation that Vox directed last Wednesday to the Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, Félix Bolaños.
During that interpellation, the parliamentary spokesperson for Vox, Pepa Millán, already urged Bolaños to guarantee that Spaniards are the national priority of the Government, with the aim that they are not perceived "at the back of the queue" and that the sustainability of the welfare state is preserved, a principle that the party explicitly includes in one of the points of the motion.
The third force in Congress also claims that the Executive should proceed to return to their countries of origin immigrants who remain irregularly in Spain and to re-immigrate those foreigners who, "by not contributing with their work and effort to the national economy, erode the welfare state of Spaniards".
National priority and access to aid and healthcare
In the registered initiative, Vox also proposes that the Government enshrine national priority in access to all social aid and benefits, public services, and housing programs (both for opting for social and protected housing, as well as for enjoying differentiated tax benefits or receiving any type of housing-related support).
The party also intends for the State to shield the sustainability of the healthcare system by preventing, "except in cases of urgent, immediate, and vital or emergency healthcare," "illegal" immigrants from using public healthcare.
In coherence with this, Vox demands the repeal of the royal decree approved in March of this year that regulates the recognition of the right to health protection and healthcare at public expense for foreigners without legal residence in Spain.
Likewise, the training advises the Government to reject the "massive" regularization process of "illegal" immigrants and to suppress free legal assistance for foreigners in proceedings related to their expulsion from the national territory.
