The Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, used his visit to Reus to criticize the appeal filed by the PP and Vox against migrant regularization and to reaffirm the Government's support for the victims of the Adamuz train accident.

During his visit to Reus for the municipal museum's reopening, Urtasun stated that the Government is "fully dedicated" to the investigation of the Adamuz (Córdoba) railway accident and called for avoiding political confrontation during times of crisis.

"The priority is to stand by the victims and the families who are going through a difficult time."

Regarding the appeal announced by the Partido Popular (PP) and Vox against the exceptional measure for the regularization of migrants, Urtasun stressed that this is an "strictly national" competence. He recalled that the European Migration Pact "does not enter into any case" regarding the granting of residence or work permits, which remains the exclusive competence of member states.
The minister argued that citizens expect "solutions and work," not "controversies," from political leaders, and insisted on the Government's commitment to vulnerable people. He warned that the protection measure for vulnerable families, which benefits over 60,000 households, must not be allowed to lapse.

"Spain is today the fastest-growing economy in the Eurozone and the country that creates the most employment."

Finally, Urtasun highlighted the increase in the Minimum Interprofessional Wage (SMI), which particularly benefits working women, and praised the solidarity concert for Palestine held at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, calling the event "extraordinary."
