PP Challenges Government on Immigration Policy

Published: 2024-08-20

The Popular Party (PP) in Spain has intensified its criticism of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's handling of the immigration crisis, particularly in regions like the Canary Islands and Ceuta.

The PP has introduced a non-legislative proposal in Congress, urging increased border control and more resources for regional governments to manage the influx of migrants.

They accuse the Sánchez administration of inaction and demand the declaration of a national emergency to address the situation.

The PP's plan includes boosting the number of border agents, enhancing asylum processing, and seeking EU support for affected regions.

Despite previous opposition to the government's immigration reforms, the PP insists on a comprehensive approach that balances border security with humanitarian needs.
