We expected what was going to happen in the Cortes of Aragon with the proposal presented by Vox regarding the distribution of minerals in the community this Thursday. No party supported his motion, which shows that only Abascal’s party is proposing a radical change in the immigration policies in the face of the crisis the country is going through. What is not so expected is what will happen regarding the approval of the spending ceiling and budgets, in light of the very contradictory positions on immigration between PP and Vox, knowing that they broke the government precisely because of the agreement to receive more minerals from the Canary Islands.
Immigration to Aragon: the CIS and Vox
In accordance with the discourse hardened during these months in opposition, those of Vox do not change the strategy of the party which cost them to leave all the autonomous governments. In fact, the latest data published by the CIS, They somewhat agree with those of Vox, emphasizing that “immigration is the first concern of the Spaniards”, they emphasize. In this sense, the party has registered similar motions against illegal immigration in all institutions.
Domestic violence and crime
Vox spokesperson, Alexandre Nolascoestablished a relationship between the increase in crime and uncontrolled illegal immigration, showing in the gallery two graphs based on data provided by the Observatory against domestic violence, entity composed of the General Council of the Judicial Power (CGPJ) as well as the Scales of Crime provided by the Ministry of the Interior.
Concerning violence against womenshowed that the number of foreigners convicted is greater. “This is data that kills any of these progressive stories that you use,” he said.
“Crime is also increasing in Aragon, also because of illegal immigration, more than 8%. A gradual increase in related crimes, including rape and violent house thefts. Concretely, during the first six months of 2024, in Aragon, here, there was 48 offenses, 607 thefts with intimidation And 998 flights with force in homes,” he added.
“It is immoral to import crime in exchange for votes. It is a terrible irresponsibility to encourage insecurity in the streets in exchange for having power for a little longer”, he declared, referring to last June, when he left the vice-presidency of the Government, following the strategy conceived since Madrid “The only ones who benefit from all this and the ones you help are those who are dedicated to human trafficking, the mafias who are dedicated to human trafficking and whom you indirectly help,” he said. expressed.
The distribution of minerals in Aragon
The motion was limited to the rejection by the Cortes of the distribution of minerals that could be promoted by the Spanish government in the framework of future sectoral conferences. A point on which, within the government, they managed to further tighten the positions between Vox and the PPespecially during the first meeting they held to oversee the pact. Something that is far away now with their two new strategies.
In fact, the PP insisted that “with initiatives like these they are abandoning the Canary Islands, and this is something that no community governed by the PP will allow.”
Likewise, those of Vox asked to increase the safety of workers in mining centers until their closure, as well as to “not allow any budget item intended to relocate illegal immigrants to Aragon.
