The Minister for Welfare, Youth and Demographic Challenge, Nerea Melgosa, has expressed the Spanish Government's "concern" about the process of extraordinary regularization of migrants and has warned that "it will have to bear the consequences of this process".

In an interview on Radio Euskadi, Melgosa has criticized the fact that the Government chaired by Pedro Sánchez has failed to respond to the Government's allegations, including that the Government requested that thelearning ofthe Basque language  and its participation in the training processes be positively assessed.

It has also criticized the exclusion of stateless persons, including Saharans, and Ukrainian citizens, and recalled that "Euskadi has turned to them" since the beginning of the war.

"The Basque Government has always shown its willingness to cooperate", but it has not been heard and, "since it is the competence of the State to deal with migrants, the Ministry has decided how, when and where the regularization process should be carried out, so it will have to see what the consequences are", he has warned.

As he explained, the Basque Country was betting on linking regularization to employment and the Basque Country. People who are making an integration effort and learning Basque must be compensated in some way, "he said.

By the weekend, the Chief Executive trusts that his Department will have prepared a guide to the process so that stakeholders can be easily informed of the documentation they request and where to present it.

He has also warned that there have been "opportunists" who are trying to charge for free management.
