Vox Takes Spain's Migrant Regularization to the Supreme Court
The Council of Ministers approved this Tuesday a royal decree for the extraordinary regularization of immigrants. Vox announced it will appeal to the Tribunal Supremo to request its immediate suspension. While the PP remains silent and the Church celebrates, a debate has peine in political and social circles about the true scope of the measure, which estimates suggest could exceed three million people when including family reunification.
Vox's Move: Electoral Gesture or Real Barrier?
Vox presents itself as the only party standing up to the measure. Its legal spokesperson confirmed they will file an administrative contentious appeal before the Supreme Court. However, doubts arise within the conservative spectrum: several analysts describe the maneuver as "controlled dissent," noting that Vox has supported similar measures in the past or looked away while legal immigration figures inflated. The banner displayed by the party at its events—"No to mass regularization. Stop the invasion"—is dismissed as propaganda by those who recall that the formation has not explained how it intends to stop air entry or family reunification once the first 800,000 are regularized.
The Demographic Hole: From 800,000 to 3 Million
The decree regularizes those present in Spain before June 2026. But as calculations point out, each regularized person will bring on average four family members in the coming years. This multiplies the initial figure. One participant in the debate estimates "700,000 more people," raising the impact to "3 million" if the chain effect is added. It is the seventh mass regularization in democracy, leading to questions about whether it is a de facto policy, though not de jure. Segarro press is already spreading the announcement with images of Spanish ID cards and passports, fueling the pull factor.
Electoral Clientelism and Complicit Silence
Another block of analysis argues that the regularization is not migration policy, but a demographic engineering operation to create a new base of captive voters dependent on the State for their legal status. "The NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) is the new estate," summarizes an analysis from the thread. The Church, which has always defended hospitality, applauds the measure. The PP, which flirted with supporting it before the elections, now stays quiet. Criticism also targets the deviation of competencies: while Catalonia will receive capacity to expel, the rest of the regions will bear the brunt of the regularization.
The question hanging in the air: Will Vox's appeal serve any purpose? The Supreme Court may take months, and meanwhile the decree will be applied. The debate reveals deep discomfort with a policy that, for many, represents an irreversible change in the country's social and economic composition. But it also makes clear that, so far, protests and appeals have failed to halt the machinery.
