«These registrations they favor the scourge of illegal immigration and with it, insecurity, precariousness and abuse of public services that on many occasions come to collapse,” Fúster denounced.
«Huge call effect»
The party has denounced that “the weakness of the administrations”, until the arrival of VOX, is what has created “an enormous effect of a type of illegal and incompatible immigration” that not only damages the rights of Spaniards and the ability of public services, but it is the greatest risk to security and coexistence in Spain, and «favors criminal organizations that profit from human trafficking«Fuster recalled.
«VOX is going to fight, many times alone, but with the support of millions of Spaniards, to end the call effect. The world knows that Spain is now a weak nation, and that is the greatest enhancer of the call effect«.
In Palma de Mallorcathe municipal group of VOX has launched two motions to control and act against illegal registrationswith the aim of preventing mafias from benefiting from this practice. Fulgencio Collcouncilor and spokesperson for VOX in the city council, has denounced that “they are charging between 300 and 3,500 euros for registering up to 34 people in 30 square meter apartments, who then acquire rights that do not correspond to them.
“The Immigration Brigade of the National Police has alerted us that there is abuse in registration, which in many cases is fraudulent, and there are crimes in this regard,” added Coll, who explained that “an abuse that affects the taxpayer citizen is being stopped». «Palma has become a very unsafe city. There are groups of Algerians who have entire neighborhoods in fear,” Coll denounced.
5,000 euros for registration
In Talavera de la ReinaVOX has uncovered a scandal of irregular registrations that has resulted in eight arrested for fraud, two of them municipal employees. They charged each illegal immigrant 5,000 euros to register. “The first step of registration then gives them access to the health card and aid,” he denounced. David Moreno, first deputy mayor, councilor for the Environment, Parks and Urban Habitat of the Talavera de la Reina City Council. Furthermore, “in the town councils where there are more facilities, the mafias operate to manage the procedures.”

Gonzalo LopezCouncilor for Coastal and Health of the City Council of Cartagena, has made reference to the “incessant” problem of mass immigration that the municipality suffers, enhanced by the attraction pole of the immigration centers and the lack of information. «In the last six months, more than 2,200 people have passed through the reception camp without the town council’s knowledge because it is managed by an NGO.«, he assured. “This generates a collapse of public services that affects the neighbors,” López lamented.

Pilar Fenoy, first deputy mayor and councilor for Tourism and Beaches of Níjar, has referred to the “continuous arrival of boats and the consequent shanty settlements” that the municipality suffers.
