Las nuevas leyes de extranjería y asilo contemplan confinamientos y repartos de inmigrantes
Los anteproyectos aprobados por el Gobierno refuerzan las garantías de menores y otros migrantes vulnerables, pero aceleran los plazos de expulsión y restringen el derecho de asilo
The new migration and asylum laws announced by the Government this Tuesday, on the one-month anniversary of the Ceuta migrant crisis, aim to replace the current legislation and reform the existing foreigner norm. While these texts reportedly enhance protection for minors and vulnerable groups, including the LGBTQ+ community and women who have suffered gender-based violence, they also introduce restrictions on the right to asylum and consider the possibility of confining applicants in designated areas or even buildings.
According to Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, the aim of these projects is to align Spanish legislation with the European Migration and Asylum Pact, which seeks to establish a rapid system to differentiate between those who have the right to seek asylum and those who do not. Consequently, these new laws would also accelerate the expulsion of irregular migrants for economic reasons.
