Spain's conservative People's Party (PP) has made a dramatic shift in its stance on immigration, now calling for military deployment to address the influx of migrants.

This move aligns with far-right Vox party's long-standing position, sparking tension in regions where the two parties co-govern.

PP's change comes amid fears of losing ground to ultra-right parties if migration increases this summer.

The proposal to use the military has been criticized by the government and military officials as impractical and potentially illegal.

Meanwhile, Vox opposes plans to distribute unaccompanied migrant minors across Spanish regions, viewing it as a threat to their coalition agreements with PP.

This political maneuvering occurs as Spain faces rising irregular immigration, particularly in the Canary Islands.
