Madrid : Spain’s president of government candidate for IU (United Left), Gaspar Llamazares, warned on Friday that opposition PP (Popular Party) is taking up the standards of the extreme right in its campaign.
In a meeting with foreign journalists in Madrid, Llamazares strongly criticized the so-called contract for immigrants proposed by PP hopeful Mariano Rajoy as “pure Islamophobia.”
Two days ago, Rajoy said that if he becomes president of the Spanish government, he will impose a contract on immigrants insisting that, among other things, they learn the national language, respect Spanish customs and return to their country of origin if they cannot find a job within a year.
Llamazares said the only possible contract is the citizenship contract, which is the Constitution.
He termed it highly worrying that PP is taking up the standards of the extreme right, and noted the attacks on immigrants in recent demonstrations of the Spanish extreme right.
