The regional Minister of Family, Youth and Social Affairs for the Community of Madrid has voiced strong opposition to the extraordinary migrant regularization measure advanced by the Central Government. During the Assembly Plenary, the minister described the initiative as “chaos disguised as humanity” and a “paradise for mafias,” arguing that it places unsustainable pressure on already saturated public services.

According to the minister, the measure, imposed without adequate planning, fails to consider the real capacity of administrations to manage its effects. She questioned the Central Executive's figures, which estimate around 500,000 beneficiaries, citing police union estimates that raise the number to over two million, a figure comparable to the combined population of La Rioja, Cantabria, Navarra, Ceuta, and Melilla.

The minister also denied that the majority of those affected are individuals who have been settled and integrated in Spain for years. In her analysis, many correspond to very recent arrivals, driven by a “pull effect” without a clear plan for labor and social integration. This, she warns, could lead to increased poverty, exclusion, and more people forced to sleep on the streets.

Furthermore, she denounced that the disorder generated by the regularization is being exploited by mafia networks. Instances of fraudulent administrative appointments, fake employment contracts, retention of passports as coercion, and manipulated registrations and certificates have been detected. The Community of Madrid maintains its appeal before the Supreme Court against this measure, considering it an invasion of regional competencies and a risk to the stability of regional public services.
