During her speech, the regional leader stated that the mass regularization measure for migrants aims to «clog public services» in the region, with the goal of causing «gratuitous harm» and promoting insecurity. This swiftness in the measure has been linked by the president to an attempt by the central Executive to «burn bridges» before a possible end of the political cycle.
According to the Madrid president, the current migration policy is fostering a network of illegality that benefits mafias and fraudulent agents who charge for services that should be free and fabricate false documentation.
“"What do you say about Mr. Illa, who has now decided that in Catalonia, Catalan is a requirement to be a good or bad Catalan? Is that not racism, is that not xenophobia?"
In her response to the Vox parliamentary group, the president defended a model based on «integration and rationality», distancing herself from the party. She denied that foreign individuals displace Spanish citizens in accessing public aid, clarifying that in Madrid, technical access criteria prevail.
The Administration requires minimum registration periods to access housing benefits, employment, or places in residences, although she emphasized that there are «unlimited» aids by nature, such as those for maternity, and that healthcare coverage will not be denied to «absolutely anyone».
Finally, the president reiterated that the appeal by the Community of Madrid admitted by the Supreme Court responds precisely to the need to stop the «chaos» that, in her opinion, state regulations are generating in the provision of public services in Madrid.
