The State Movement Regularization Now has celebrated the agreement for the approval of the Extraordinary Regularization of migrant persons through Royal Decree, a decisive step towards the recognition of the rights of thousands of migrant persons in an irregular administrative situation in Spain. To achieve this, the Regularization Now Movement has held meetings and carried out political advocacy work in recent months to emphasize the urgency of an extraordinary regularization for the more than 700,000 people in administrative irregularity in Spain.
The regularization, which will be approved by the Council of Ministers through the modification of the Foreigners' Regulations, is the result of the agreement reached between the PSOE and Podemos, in a process in which the Regularization Now Movement has played an active and decisive role, directly influencing the negotiations and contributing concrete proposals to guarantee effective access to rights.
This decision comes in an international context marked by the escalation of migration policies, border closures, and the criminalization of migrants in much of Europe. Faced with this scenario, the Movement emphasizes that "the Spanish State opts to distance itself from the reactionary drift and take a step in the opposite direction: to administratively recognize those who are already part of our society".
From Regularización Ya, they have positively assessed that the Government has used a regulatory channel that does not depend on parliamentary arithmetic, demonstrating that it was possible to approve this measure "without delays or political blockages." The regularization could be done, and it has been done. This progress demonstrates something fundamental: regularization was not only necessary but possible, and it has been the sustained pressure from the organized migrant movement that has managed to break years of institutional inaction.
"Because regularization is not charity, it is social justice and a decision of courage and political will," they concluded
