Mass legalization of illegal migrants in Spain threatens all of Europe!

Yesterday, the Spanish government initiated a special procedure in the Council of Ministers for the mass legalization of illegal migrants, from which around 500,000 people could benefit. ESN Member of Parliament Mary Khan (AfD) states:

“Regardless of the fact that Europe is already suffering massively from the catastrophic consequences of illegal mass migration and that a restrictive course correction is long overdue, the left-wing government in Spain is now pushing forward another irresponsible experiment: the mass legalization of around 500,000 illegal migrants without valid documents. With this step, the rule of law is not only reduced to absurdity but deliberately undermined. Security, order, and social cohesion are being put at risk. Due to the EU’s guaranteed freedom of movement, these individuals are effectively enabled to move freely to other Member States—meaning that the Spanish government is in reality triggering a new wave of migration across Europe.

From a democratic perspective, this approach is also highly alarming: there is a strong suspicion that new voter groups are being deliberately created in order to influence future election outcomes. Such actions constitute a serious interference in democratic processes and contradict fundamental principles of the rule of law.

The EU must not stand idly by while ideologically driven migration experiments by individual governments are carried out at the expense of the European population. If these developments are not decisively stopped, the question inevitably arises as to how viable the EU’s principle of freedom of movement remains under these conditions.”
