Vox presented this Tuesday a Non-Law Proposal (NLP) to the Cortes of Castilla y León with a set of measures aimed at putting an end to illegal immigration. The Group’s spokesperson, Juan García-Gallardo, highlighted the difference in origin of the migrants: “It is not the same thing to bring a Muslim Moroccan and a Catholic Argentinian,” he stressed.
The initiative was rejected by the entire Parliament except that of the radical populist right. The clash of positions also occurred on the social network “A racist is the same in all countries and in all languages. Here and in Germany. Isn’t that right, Mr. García-Gallardo FRINGS? », Published the leader of the PSOE.
García-Gallardo responded that his grandfather “could give him some lessons about respecting women.” “Wash your mouth before you talk about him, you scoundrel,” he said.
Previously, during the parliamentary debate, García-Gallardo had finally requested in his PNL the policy of “open doors to illegal immigration encouraged and promoted by the PP and the PSOE. In the text, the Council is invited to demand that the government “immediately expels” illegal immigrants who are in Castile and León.
Among García-Gallardo’s criticisms of the government’s immigration policy, Vox’s lawyer questioned whether unaccompanied migrant minors are unaccompanied minors and called for methods to determine their ages.
Vox’s lawyer said: “It’s about choosing who enters our house, to whom we open the doors of our nation. Love of neighbor, yes. But first that of our compatriots,” he defended. García-Gallardo once again pointed out to NGOs that he asked not to argue that they “collaborate with mafias” or that public immigration aid is used to transfer illegal immigrants to their country of origin. origin. In his speech, he asked that no more shelters be opened.
Another point of Vox’s PNL is that a popular consultation be organized to propose the expulsion of all illegal immigrants. “For those of us who have a conscience and a social sensitivity, it is very painful to see thousands of people jumping into the sea, being shipwrecked repeatedly and dying, but it is also painful to see the consequences of the neighborhoods , the consequences of the massacres, immigration and how crime is increasing in many of them, some very close to here,” García-Gallardo emphasized.
All groups against
Vox’s PNL was rejected by all parliamentary groups. On the PSOE side, Vox was asked to “withdraw the initiative for dignity”. The lawyer Rubén Illera, as Tudanca did in X, reminded García-Gallardo of the German origin of the lawyer’s maternal grandfather.
“Was your grandfather a criminal for having immigrated illegally before the State regularized his situation, are you for being his grandson,” said Illera, recalling that Franco granted him nationality when he arrived in Palencia “fleeing his country”. The Vox spokesperson responded with “wash out your mouth” when talking about your family. According to García-Gallardo, his grandfather came to Spain “in search of a better future” and to “make his contribution”.
The PP criticized García-Gallardo for “confusing” who has jurisdiction over immigration matters. The “popular” lawyer Noemí Rojo stressed that “Castilla y León is a welcoming land” and denied that there is an incompatibility between the Council’s position and the existence of secure borders.
Soria NOW! responded to Vox that in his province, they are “forced migrants” since more than half of their population is outside. The lawyer of the Mixed Group, Francisco Igea, described the PNL as “nonsense” because it cannot “expel anyone from the Community because there are no borders in this country”.
As for the rest of the groups, Soria has already warned against the national immigration that also exists in provinces like Soria, with more than half of its population outside its territory; while from Mixto, Pablo Fernández (UP) and Francisco Igea criticized this initiative by Vox, which UP described as “waste and institutional racism”. Unidas Podemos lawyer Pablo Fernández said that with the PNL, Vox demonstrates that they are “racist, xenophobic and irresponsible.”
