This judicial decision comes days after the region's General Advocacy formalized the lawsuit. The legal offensive includes a request for precautionary measures to suspend the decree's application, an initiative previously announced by the regional president.
“"The central government's initiative is populist, and this type of massive regularization does not fit within the European Union's regulatory framework."
The regional government bases its challenge on three main pillars. Firstly, it argues that the state regulation violates regional powers and budgetary balance, pointing to a severe impact on Madrid's healthcare, education, and social services by not providing additional funds or means to absorb the increased demand.
Secondly, it considers the decree incompatible with European Union regulations on borders and immigration. Finally, the appeal warns of a potential risk to National Security, affecting the State's stability and control in critical security areas.
The Supreme Court's admission of the appeal marks the beginning of a process that will decide on the requested precautionary suspension. According to a spokesperson for the regional executive, the state measure was taken unilaterally, forcing the region to seek judicial protection to safeguard the provision of services to its citizens.
