Spain readies major law changes for migrants
The article concerns the Spanish government's plans to reform asylum and immigration laws in order to align them with the European Migration and Asylum Pact for 2024. This comes amidst a rising number of asylum applications, which increased from around 3,000 in 2009 to approximately 167,000 in 2024, and 144,000 in 2025. The reforms include establishing expedited procedures to make decisions within three months, or 12 weeks through border procedures, along with screening processes, medical examinations, and assessments for individuals crossing the border illegally. Additionally, the reforms will feature an initial "sorting" system to determine which cases are eligible for asylum, and procedures to repatriate illegal migrants within 12 weeks. The drafts will undergo consultations with judicial and administrative bodies before final approval by the Council of Ministers and Parliament. The aim of these reforms is to strengthen the rights of asylum applicants while imposing a more stringent management of borders, especially following the recent wave of migration to the city of Ceuta.
