Mazón joins forces with Vox to distinguish immigrants in statistics, including blood donations.

ValenciaThe PP parliamentary group has again ceded the vote in the Valencian Parliament to Vox. In its crusade against immigration, Vox has succeeded in getting the PP to agree to include in the Valencian Statistics Plan indicators that divide the population between nationals and immigrants on issues such as the use of healthcare, public aid, and even blood donation. Thus, this Monday, the PP and Vox approved in the Economy, Budget, and Finance Committee of the Valencian Parliament a resolution proposal presented by the latter to urge the Consell (regional council) to incorporate into the 2025-2028 Valencian Statistics Plan a series of "differentiating statistics" between the "national population" and the "migrant population," always "in the migrant population." Specifically, Santiago Abascal's party is calling for this differentiation in the data on net contributions to the welfare state, receipt of aid, use of emergency health services, the number of existing blood donors, and absenteeism in private companies and the public administration, in the latter case also "differentiating between men and women and age."

During the debate in Les Corts on Monday night, Vox MP Teresa Ramírez defended the initiative, arguing that currently "one of the aspects that most concerns society is the uncontrolled and rampant influx of undocumented and unidentified immigrants," which is why, in her opinion, "... She also wondered "what the problem is" with requesting these differentiated statistics.

The opposition harshly attacked this new concession from the Popular Party to Vox. "This is not public policy, it is an ideology of hate with an institutional seal. The PP has decided to put numbers to Vox's prejudices," said the socialist spokesperson for the Economy in the Cortes, José Díaz, who described the measure as a "blatant attempt to criminalize the migrant population and normalize racism from the Official Gazette". "That the PP accepts to differentiate who uses healthcare or who donates blood according to their nationality is simply repugnant. It is the furthest thing from a modern and decent democracy," says Díaz.

For her part, the Compromís deputy, Aitana Mas, has lamented that the PP is once again "buying into the most retrograde and xenophobic discourse of Vox in a dispute to see who is capable of seeing who is capable, and has added that "they do so with premises based on lies and unfair assumptions" in a "new concession by the PP to keep Mazón as president of the Generalitat." equality". In the same initiative by both parties, it is agreed to remove inclusive language from the chamber's publications and "use the language recommended by the RAE". The spokesperson for Vox in Les Corts, José María Llanos, emphasized the importance of the reform, since it "represents a symbolic and political change of great significance" in identity and reinforces the central role of the family.

The xenophobic party also highlighted the modification of the parity of the tables: "The balance is maintained, but the zipper rule, which imposed a rigid mechanism on the election of positions, disappears. This measure avoids the imposition of automatic gender quotas and gives more freedom to the election process." The PSPV spokesperson in Les Corts, José Muñoz, stated that "today is a bad day" for the Valencian Country: "We have a president who makes a banner of racism, criminalizing it and who attacks it deliberately, and for the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to take measures "to stop this drift." The Compromís ombudsman, Joan Baldoví, accused the PP and Vox of wanting to create "a new smokescreen to cover up their responsibility for the death of 229 people during the cold drop" on October 29, and highlighted the human persons."
