The Catalan regional government and the Spanish central administration have agreed to join forces to manage the upcoming extraordinary immigrant regularisation of foreign nationals. This collaboration aims to ensure the process is accessible and efficient for all applicants.
The agreement was reached during a high-level summit held today at the Palau de Pedralbes in Barcelona. Meanwhile, the meeting brought together representatives from the Generalitat, the Spanish government, and various social, economic, and local entities to discuss the logistics of the immigrant regularisation programme.

A New Institutional Alliance for Immigrant Regularisation
Following the summit, Catalan government officials expressed optimism regarding the collaborative approach. Mònica Martínez, Minister for Social Rights, and Eva Menor, Minister for Equality and Feminism, described the meeting as highly positive. In addition, they noted that all parties present had committed to strict coordination to guarantee the initiative’s success.
Carlos Prieto, the Spanish government’s delegate in Catalonia, emphasised the strength of the partnership forged during the talks. He stated that an “alliance” had been established between the institutions and civil society organisations. Therefore, this ensures the necessary collaboration throughout this extraordinary immigrant regularisation process.
Removing Bureaucratic Barriers in Immigrant Regularisation
A primary concern addressed during the meeting was the risk of vulnerable individuals being excluded due to administrative complexities. Minister Martínez reiterated a firm commitment to ensuring that no applicant is left behind due to paperwork issues, a lack of information, or insufficient resources.
The administration intends to articulate specific mechanisms to ensure all eligible persons can access the immigrant regularisation process under conditions of equality. Consequently, the focus remains on streamlining procedures to assist those who might otherwise struggle to navigate the legal system.
