Together they will denounce in Europe the "marginalization" of Catalan in the regularization of migrants

BarcelonaAfter demanding thetightening of criteria for the extraordinary regularization of migrants in Spain, Junts takes a further step against the measure approved by Pedro Sánchez's government and which will benefit half a million people. Carles Puigdemont's party has announced that it will take the regularization to Europe because it "ignores the requirement to know Catalan". The formation has commissioned its legal department to prepare "the presentation of a complaint to European institutions for the violation of various directives and the marginalization of a co-official language as a criterion for integration", as detailed this Friday in a statement.

the language "be taken into account" for this procedureLikewise, the Junts members accuse the President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, of having "deceived" Catalans for saying that he wanted Catalan to be a "requirement" when regularized migrants face the first renewal of their residence permit. The Government, in reality, only proposed that the language "be taken into account" for this procedure. But Junts members lash out: "[The executive] Once again demonstrates that the existence of a Ministry of Linguistic Policy is just a pure facade and that agreements like the National Pact for Language are just empty words".

Carles Puigdemont's party also denounces in its statement that the regularization is causing a "serious collapse of municipal services" in Catalonia. "It externalizes all problems to the town councils, which are overwhelmed, without funding and administrative capacity to address this process with guarantees", they criticize, and announce the start of a "political and institutional offensive" to "reverse" the problems they point out in the regularization, including "legal actions" in Europe, although they do not specify which ones.
