# Spanish People’s Party border security proposals > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/spanish-peoples-party-border-security-proposals > Updated: 2026-10-15T15:06:05.000Z. Sources: 30. Developments: 3. The Spanish People’s Party (PP) has proposed legislative and operational measures to strengthen border security and manage migration. In late September, the PP submitted a proposal to the Spanish Senate to reform the Immigration Law. This amendment to Organic Law 4/2000 aims to bolster the special border rejection regime in Ceuta and Melilla, ensuring that irregular entry attempts, including those made by swimming, are subject to rejection at land and maritime borders. By mid-October, the party’s focus expanded to include demands for increased military and technological resources. PP deputy Jacob Qadri characterized migratory pressure on the Canary Islands as a national and European issue, citing the 2006 ‘Operation Noble Sentinel’ as a successful model for inter-agency coordination. Additionally, opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo criticized the government for not deploying the army to the borders following reports of Moroccan warships near Ceuta, calling for greater firmness regarding Spain’s territorial integrity. As the party launched pre-campaign activities for the upcoming November 29 general elections, national spokesperson Borja Sémper announced intentions to modify laws to facilitate the return of irregular migrants to countries such as Morocco. Sémper called for an ‘ordered’ migration policy and an increased Frontex presence in the Atlantic corridor, the Strait of Gibraltar, and Canarian waters. He also proposed legal mechanisms to facilitate the return of unaccompanied minors to their countries of origin while maintaining humanitarian standards. In mid-October, while speaking in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Sémper reiterated the need for a stronger Frontex presence in the Canary Islands to combat human trafficking. Concurrently, presidential candidate Alberto Núñez Feijóo criticized a recent pact between the PSOE and Frente Amplio to run for the Senate, describing it as a ‘coalition of the desperate’ and arguing that the PSOE is diluting its identity by partnering with various political formations. ## Claims - Alberto Núñez Feijóo committed to strengthening and ensuring the sustainability of the welfare state for future generations.
