Toledo.- The delegate of the Government of Spain in Castilla-La Mancha, José Pablo Sabrido, has defended the regularization of immigrants as a measure of “normalization, justice and necessity.”
Normalization because “we are talking about people who already live with us on the street and in our homes”, justice because “many people, because they are not regularized, are in a state that affects their own dignity” and need “from the economic, social and even maintenance point of view of the system”. “There is no doubt that immigrants are contributing a lot to the wealth of Spain,” he said.
Sabrido has argued that the regularization of immigrants also has the support of unions, employers and the Catholic Church, in addition to an initial approval in the Congress of Deputies with 310 votes in favor after a collection of signatures with the support of more than 700,000 people. Therefore, the government delegate defends that it is a measure “of the whole society”.
In addition, the government delegate has explained that the conditions for an immigrant to be regularized depend on not having a criminal record either in Spain or in the country of origin, so he has denied that criminals are going to be regularized: "We are not going to fill ourselves, as someone pretends, with criminals. We're going to fill ourselves with normal people, people who work, people who want the best for their family."
Figures and details of the process
According to estimates, between 13,000 and 15,000 people could benefit in Castilla-La Mancha from this regularization process. In this regard, the government delegate has encouraged any interested institution to join the process as a collaborating entity in the course of regularization, which will end on June 30.
The regularization must be carried out after the acquisition of a prior appointment, a prerequisite for being attended in person. Such an appointment can already be purchased, although the regularization process will not begin until the next day 20. To do this, the offices where the procedures can be carried out will be strengthened, so that they will not entail a delay in the rest of the routine procedures.
On this, the delegate has called for the interested parties to go to the offices in an “orderly” way so as not to hinder or delay the process, adopting in any case the measures explained by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, and has insisted on the importance of going to the prior appointment with the complete file.
Information from the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration
The Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration has launched a web portal (inclusion.gob.es/regularizacion) specifically intended to inform interested persons about the extraordinary regularization process. From the same portal, you can fill out a form to verify if the requirements to opt for regularization are met, start the procedure itself if we have an electronic certificate and request an appointment.
This web portal has detailed information about the process, both what exactly it consists of and what its potential beneficiaries are, as well as specific documentation, etc. This information has been articulated in different formats, with frequently asked questions and videos that will be updated as new needs are detected. If after reading all this information a specific question arises, it can be done through a form.
In addition, interested persons will have at their disposal a series of explanatory videos with different aspects of the process of processing, request of appointment, etc.
