Spain Defends Immigration as Opposition Pushes Points-Based Visa Plan

Spain’s government argues that immigration is not a problem, but rather a driver of wealth and prosperity, pushing back against the opposition People’s Party (PP). The PP wants a points-based visa system like those in Canada, Australia, and the UK, arguing it would bring in workers for sectors with labour shortages while boosting integration.

Minister Félix Bolaños warned the PP not to lean on Vox’s hardline stance, saying it risks being “swallowed up” by the far-right. PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo insists immigration needs “order,” rejecting both mass regularisation and mass expulsions. So, what do you think—should Spain stick to its open stance or tighten the rules?
