Vox's initiative was dismissed with 27 votes against, with only one vote in favor, that of the far-right party. The PP's opposing stance came after Vox refused to accept an amendment proposed by a popular representative, which sought to include support for the Valencian Council's efforts against the central government to adapt the current immigrant regularization process to the European Pact on Immigration and Asylum.
“"First for Spaniards, and then, if there is anything left over, for those from outside who come in an orderly manner."
The Vox deputy rejected the amendment, deeming it 'too late,' and defended the motion by arguing for the need to establish 'national priority in social aid' and promote the 're-emigration of foreigners who do not contribute positively to the national economy.' She also called for an end to subsidies for unions and NGOs assisting in the immigrant regularization process.
Beyond defending its amendment, the PP did not intervene in the debate to take a position on Vox's motion. Both PSPV-PSOE and Compromís did, with the latter party expressing its complaint about the popular party's lack of opinion on the far-right's positions.
A socialist representative stated that Vox's discourse is based on fear and lies, asserting that the concept of 'national priority' is an attempt at 'discrimination' that seeks to disrupt coexistence. Meanwhile, a Compromís deputy indicated that fascism must be combated with information, as Vox's motion relies on 'false' data and manipulated premises regarding aid and crimes.
“"Pathetic to hear Spaniards against Spaniards to benefit those who have just arrived."
In response to the left-wing groups, the Vox deputy described it as 'pathetic' to hear 'Spaniards against Spaniards' to benefit immigrants, adding that their cultures are 'incompatible with ours,' as, according to her, they 'denigrate women, gays, and homosexuals'.
