The Vox party has submitted a non-legislative proposal to the Parliament of the Canary Islands this Friday, aiming to establish "national priority" in access to social aid, housing, and public services, a measure that would significantly impact the community.

The far-right party's initiative argues that the welfare state is facing a "deep crisis" and that "mass immigration has strained public services to unsustainable extremes," although no data is provided to support these claims.
Among the key proposals, Vox suggests that non-contributory benefits and pensions should be reserved exclusively for Spanish citizens. Furthermore, it calls for the repeal of the royal decree regulating access to public healthcare for undocumented foreign nationals, seeking to "end" the migrant regularization process.

"Public resources must first be allocated to those who sustain and form the national community itself."

The party also demands the implementation of measures to ensure the sustainability of the healthcare system, limiting access to medical care "except in cases of urgent, immediate, and life-threatening or emergency healthcare assistance."
Finally, the proposal includes a request to "repatriate all immigrants who are illegally in the country" and the "remigration of all those foreigners who, by not contributing with their work and effort to the national economy, erode the welfare state of Spaniards."
