Spain's Supreme Court on Friday rejected a request to suspend the extraordinary regularization process for immigrants. The ruling came after a hearing involving the Madrid regional government, Vox and other groups.
The Supreme Court's Contentious-Administrative Chamber dismissed the precautionary suspension request filed by the Madrid regional government and Vox. The royal decree has been in force since April 14 and the application period runs until June 30.
The State Attorney's Office reported 549,596 applications received, of which 91,905 have been admitted for processing. The government argued that suspension would harm the public interest and the rights of applicants.
The court found that Hazte Oír and two other associations lacked standing to appeal. The detailed reasoning for the decision will be notified in the coming days.
