Spain applauds that the Supreme Court does not stop the regularization: "It clears the present of thousands of people"

The Government of Spain has celebrated the decision taken by the Supreme Court this Friday not to provisionally suspend the extraordinary regularization of immigrants that it is carrying out, since, it considers, "it clears the present and future of tens of thousands of people".

Sources from the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration have conveyed to EFE their "respect for judicial decisions" and have "positively" valued the rejection of the request for precautionary measures requested by the Community of Madrid and Vox, while it has denied the legitimacy of entities such as Hazte Oír to appeal the royal decree. 

For the Executive, with this decision, the High Court "clears the present and future of tens of thousands of people" who have already received the initial authorization with the admission for processing of their petition and, therefore, can now reside and work in Spain. 

And, furthermore, "it does not dissipate the hope" of tens of thousands of other people who are awaiting their resolution or will present their documentation in the coming days, it has added. 

The royal decree for regularization came into force last April 16 with the aim of granting residence and work permits to some 500,000 people who already live in the country and, until this Thursday, the Executive has received 549,596 applications, of which 91,505 have been admitted for processing, which means the granting of a first provisional authorization to reside and work in Spain.
