Spain’s far-right Vox bids to stop granting residence permits to ‘Islamic culture’ people

Following this week’s terrorist attack in Brussels the Spanish far right Vox party has registered a proposal in Congress to suspend the granting of Spanish nationality and residence permits to people from Islamic countries, Euronews reported yesterday.

Specifically, the party wants to “suspend the procedures for acquiring Spanish nationality and residence and stay permits”.

It also wants to “ban the entry into Spain of immigrants from countries with an Islamic culture if their correct and peaceful integration cannot be guaranteed”.

The party, led by Santiago Abascal, justified its decision by claiming that the attack in Brussels was a direct consequence of the “open-door policy pursued in a large part of Europe”.
