Spain revises asylum and immigration rules

Spanish newspapers reported that the Spanish government has approved a new bill on asylum and immigration aimed at a comprehensive reform of the migrant reception system and protection seekers. The bill includes stricter deportation procedures and enhanced guarantees for minors and vulnerable groups. It also establishes a new legal framework to replace the previous legislation from 2009, featuring amendments to the Foreigners Law to speed up the processing of applications, especially those with weak grounds or security concerns. Additionally, the bill sets a 12-week period for border asylum application reviews, which can be extended, and allows for the detention of protection seekers in temporary police facilities until a decision is made. It introduces measures to accelerate case processing and imposes restrictions on the movement of asylum seekers during the asylum process, including designating residence areas or detaining them if necessary, in order to strengthen public order security.
