Podem manté el veto al traspàs de competències en immigració malgrat el gest de Junts

MadridAmb la crisi de Ceuta, la immigració s'ha convertit en la qüestió central de la política espanyola. En aquest context, Junts ha tornat a posar sobre la taula el traspàs de competències en aquesta matèria a la Generalitat. Per als juntaires, que consideren que Catalunya no té capacitat per augmentar més de població, cal que el govern català gestioni l'entrada, la integració o l'expulsió dels immigrants. La iniciativa va fracassar al Congrés per l'oposició de Podem, però aquest dimarts Junts l'ha tornat a registrar amb un gest cap a la formació de Ione Belarra: ha canviat el preàmbul, que Podem considerava "racista". Un canvi que no resol les discrepàncies amb Podem, ja que manté el veto argumentant que el problema és el conjunt de la norma.

En roda de premsa al Congrés, Nogueras ha justificat que han canviat l'exposició de motius per una descripció "tècnica" de l'article 150.2 de la Constitució, que serveix per delegar competències de l'Estat a les autonomies, i que s'ha d'activar per aquest cas. "No entrarem al fang, hem tret l'exposició de motius, per tant, avui Podem no té cap excusa per no votar la llei", ha dit Nogueras.
Podem, però, ha interpretat el canvi com una mesura de "pressió", perquè s'ha assabentat de la decisió, ha dit, pels mitjans de comunicació. Així, ha contestat que l'exposició de motius no és "l'únic problema" de la delegació de competències. "No pot tenir un enfocament de control migratori basat en la seguretat. És un error i és racista", ha assegurat en una compareixença de premsa, ja que argumenta que el que es traspassa és la llei d'estrangeria, que ara gestiona l'Estat, i que aquesta llei facilita "batudes racistes". Per a Podem, si ara els Mossos assumissin aquestes competències, la pressió policial augmentaria cap als immigrants perquè implicaria augmentar els agents al Principat que hi ha ara dedicats a això de facto, tal com va explicar en una entrevista a l'ARA.
En aquest sentit, condicionen un canvi de posicionament al fet que es garanteixi que la norma no servirà per fer més identificacions a Catalunya de persones racialitzades i, alhora, que no es lligui el traspàs de competències a un augment d'agents dels Mossos, tal com preveu la norma, perquè implica un enfocament punitivista de la qüestió. Unes condicions que fonts de Podem asseguren que tampoc accepta el PSOE, que va acordar la llei amb Junts, ja que quan li van enviar la proposta a principi d'any no van tenir un retorn positiu.

Executive Summary

The political debate in Spain centers on the issue of immigration, which has become central to Spanish politics following the situation in Ceuta. Junts has proposed transferring competence over immigration to the Generalitat, arguing that Catalonia lacks the capacity to manage increased population, suggesting Catalan authorities should handle entry, integration, or expulsion of immigrants. This initiative faced opposition from Podem. Later, Junts changed the preamble for the motion, which Podem considered racist, but this did not resolve the disagreement, as Podem maintained that the issue was the substance of the law rather than the delegation of powers. In a press conference, proponents argued they changed the exposition to a "technical" description of Article 150.2 of the Constitution to activate the delegation of competencies. Opponents countered by arguing that focusing on migration through security measures is erroneous and racist, asserting that transferring control to the state, particularly regarding police powers, would increase pressure on immigrants.

Full Take

The dispute over competence transfer reveals a fundamental tension between regional autonomy, state authority, and securitization frameworks regarding immigration policy. The shift in framing—from a matter of administrative delegation to one framed by racial and security concerns—demonstrates how political actors strategically deploy language to manage dissent rather than resolving substantive disagreement. Junts' tactical change in the motion’s preamble suggests an awareness that direct ideological confrontation stalls legislative progress, opting instead for semantic maneuvers to control the narrative flow. Podem’s counterargument highlights a deeper structural concern: the potential for policy implementation to be channeled through punitive security mechanisms, which risks embedding discriminatory practices under the guise of necessity. The resistance stems not just from opposition to immigration policies, but from a principled concern over the legal and ethical foundations of state power when applied to demographic management. The tension is between the practical desire for devolved control and the inherent risk that localized political maneuvering, regardless of technical wording changes, fails to address underlying systemic concerns about who controls mechanisms of state coercion.
